When I changed out my bars on my 05 Deuce, I also swapped to the braided cables. Not only do they give the bike a much better look, the clutch operates easier and the brakes seems to bite better. The HD ones are pricey, but what isn't. I just need to find the braided spark plug wires to complete the look, but nobody here knows of them. I know they're difficult to find for the EFI bikes. Get the braided, you won't regret it. HD says their clearing covering on the braided cables will not yellow, we'll see.
