SS cables 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
Is there a reason to swap stock clutch and throttle cables to stainless besides looks?

Re:SS cables 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
i think its just looks. i love the look of them but over time i have seen quite a few start to turn yellow and that just drive me nuts to the point i would get a new set over and over and over. so i just stay with black.

i know there is a diff between good cables and cheap cables and some put sunblock on there cables to slow it but its probly still gunna happen just a matter of time

Supposed to get more pressure on the brake hose, not sure if I can tell tho. With ape hangers it just looks more natural. If you got a windshield or fairing no one really notices your cables.

i did forget to mention the brake lines dont expand like the stock ones so you can get more pressure to the pads, thank jbubbs. but you can get the same thing in black as well (wow...i...i...i cant belive i promoted black over chrome as my prefrence )

I know about the brakes and have them. I was just wondering about the clutch and throttle cables. I'd rather not waste $160 just for looks
