Default New Magnum cables..... done.

I finally got my custom cables done. Magnum black pearls'...

You can see how far the old ones stick out in my sig pic, cleaned up the front nicely.

Looks good. I should do that to mine, but they don't bother me all that much I guess.

Looks great! It is one of those things that people will not notice off the bat, but after looking the entire bike over it will be on of those details that they discover. Very nice indeed! If you don't mind me asking, how much were they?

Thanks for the compliments...

When I got new drag bars, there was just too much slack in them, really looked sloppy, plus the brake line was kinked. I don't have much more I want to do, so I waited to make sure I had the bars I wanted to keep, knew it would not be cheap.

There is a 20% upcharge on any cable more than 2" under, so it was not cheap. it was about $70\cable after the 20% ($280). It was $310 directly from Magnum, but she said to order through my dealer and it was 30% cheaper (not after they mark it back up 25%). I did save $30, and since my local dealer was not set up with them ( I worked with the parts guy and got them set up), they put them on for 1/2 off.

Marking everything up for their half off sale, eh? Lol.
Glad you got them, I have been considering the same cables for my Nightster.

Wouldn't of been easier and cheaper with an internal throttle and clutch? No way I could spend 300$ and still have cables exposed.

Can't even see a difference. Looks like a total waste of money. Who cares about cables, anyway?

Thanks for you opinion...
