I ask the same question a few days ago. Only received a couple replies. Everyone seemed to think the Magnums were the way to go. The local dealer told me the exact same thing. I probably screwed up but I ordered the HD Diamond Back.

What answer would you expect the Dealer to tell you?

I am ordering the Magnum II Chromite ones real soon. Everything I have read about them has been very good, and 2 of my friends have them, so all good by my standards.

Magnum, and get them through DR-Vtwin truly a Righteous Group of folks working there, and they have the best prices i've ever seen. Just give them a call, trust me you won't regret it

Magnum are far nicer than the Harley cables. I have both on my ride. The throttle and idle are Harley diamond back and the brake line is magnum. There is quite a difference. We can get you what you need.

thanks guys when bars get here, i am going to have dealer measure and i will give dr. a call, i don`t know until bars are here as far as what i need length wise, what i have found out talking with my independant is the magnums are easier to get custom as far as what length and that magnum makes harleys anyways, so long story short i am going with magnums thax again

I've got both and the Magnums are holding up well.The d-backs look old in 2-3 years.
