Long story short, I pinched my clutch cable between exhaust and rear brake reservoir. Melted that bad boy down to steel braids. She now leaks fluid from the trans.

Onto the real question. I will be adding the 12" Yaffe's soon. What cable would you recommend? Is there really a performance difference between one brand and another?

 

I can't speak for others but I just put a la choppers on my bike and it seems to be good quality.

 

I had good experiences using Barnett.

 

probably not...at least not in my experience.

 

Just did apes on my bike. Used LA Choppers kit and would not do it again. The clutch and brake line were 3 or 4 inches too long. The puck style union for the front brake lines is too thick so the lower triple tree trim won't fit back on the bike. One of the flair fittings was not correct and leaked. They also just raised their prices that were already too high.

 

HD 38649-08A will work just fine with those bars.

 

Check out Magnum Shielding. A little more $ but was worth it to me. Inner teflon sleeve and better oil seal at tranny connection for no leaks.

 

That's what I used. Others are just looks.

 

Dawg, is that cable about a +4" cable? I'm planning on LA Chopper 10" twin peak bars. My local dealer convinced me to buy a plus 6" cable and I think that'll be too long ( 2013 Ultra). Had it awhile, don't think they'll let me return it...

 

It's a +3-4 cable used on HD sidecar models. 6" cable on 10" bars is too long IMO. 10-12" bars only need +3-4.
