Looking to replace my clutch cable in next couple of weeks and would like to know what is considered the best. I have 14 chubby apes and I think I would need 8+ cable length. Ill have to take a measure and confirm that.
My current cable is drag specialties and the adjuster area is kinda shot, rubber boot has not held up well and the cable feels like its not as smooth as it could be. Appreciate any advise. Thanks.

Only two I know of is Magnum and Barnett. I bought Barnett originally when I did my bar swap, but wasn't happy with the quality.

Magnum is closer to OEM quality.

BTW, I went +8" on my FLHTK and it worked great, I would think your Glide would be the same.

 

There are some options but we like to use Magnum. We have been happy with the quality. We usually order them through Drag or direct if we have to have a custom cable made up. I have been told that they make HD's braided cables.

 

BTW, I went with Wild Chubby WO576 and the Clutch Cable I used was 42238HE.

That part # is for a "Black Pearl", yours will differ a little if you go with a different color.

 

I've used Magnum and Harley Diamondback clutch cables. They look very similar, both work very well. I wouldn't say either one is any better or worse than the other. I guess if Magnum is making Harley's braided cables, that would make sense.

 

I have a Diamondback at present and it is much smoother and lighter in operation than the stock cable I had on before.

 

I went with magnums when I did my apes

 

The best one is the one that never breaks.

I use the HD Diamondback cable.

 

I went with Barnett +4 clutch cable steel braided when I swapped my bars. I was pleased with the quality. I would used them again.

None! Hydraulic is the way to go. Easier, smoother, & no lubing, or adjusting.
