Default EBay SS Braided Cable package experiences?

Anyone every get this SS Braided Cable package from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SS-Br...Q5fAccessories

I was wondering about the quality. It seems like it would be an ok deal because it includes both throttle cables, clutch cable, and brake line. Name of the company is Hill Country Custom Cycles and I don't see a name on the cables. I don't wanna spend almost 200 bucks if they are gonna fall apart so any info would be great. Thanks guys.

I have the 16" apes package from that company and it's fine. I have had no issues whatsoever. Worth the money in my book.

yes, they are name brand cables (motion pro and drag specialties). Don't know who makes the bars but I don't care. They fit. They look good.

I don't know about that fake braided cable stuff Joe. Just seems kinda cheesy.

Actually I have heard of stuff like this before and just wrote it off as looking cheap but the stuff in your pictures actually doesn't look bad at all. Looks just like the real deal. What is it made of and do you think it will fade or dull?

No kidding!? Ok I'm checking out the site right now. I see 3 different kinds. I am assuming you got the "Mylar?" but when you got to the prices it only says silver? I think I might as well try this out and take your word..specially for 20 bucks

Will the 5/16 work for the brake line and the throttle and clutch? And how any feet did you need to do your bob (I know you got apes but Id rather have too much than not enough) Thanks for the help bro you are the man...specially if you save me like 160 bucks haha!
