Default Braided Lines

Has any one used Harley's diamondback-braided cables or lines , and are they really anti-yellowing?

I have friend that is a tech at the local HD dealer and they do not have problems or returns due to yellowing. The Teflon coating has good UV resistance. I usually run Magnum cables on my own bikes and have never had any problems with them either.
