Hi all,

Just a quick one...what is the general cosensus with braided cable/lines ??

Is it best to go standard stainless braid(or do they frey & hard to clean)

OR, best to go ones as above but with plastic clear sheath covering (or does the plastic discolour & go milky over time??)
 

Any thoughts or ideas much appreciated. Bikes going in on Tuesday.

Cheers

PS: one other ?..do you go 2 inch over forks when installing 5 degree raked triple trees or leave the stock fork tubes ???

yep there is plenty of crap cables out there and plenty of good . yes the clear coat can turn yellow on the crap ones i have even pulled them out the packet starting to go yellow  the last set i put on 6mths back where motionpro stanless braed clear coat  of  fleebay and are still like the day i put them on  nice smooth cable operation  and fitment was spot on  easy to keep clean chrome fittings arnt rusting yet eather  and i would use them again if i have to my 2c worth

Hey Bandit I have been told but never tried it that after washing your bike to apply 30+ sunblock to the clear outer caseing and it supposedly stops them from going yellow.... Anyone out there tried this ???

sunblock  ? i pamper my bike enough now fucked if i am going do that  i have a brand new speedo cable  made by vtwin  in the packet  on my wall  and  the clear coat is going yellow ,and i have had thorrtle cabels from debrix go yellow in 6mths 

i allso had the plain braid (no clear coat ) on my bike before i rebuilt it and every where the cable was rubbing had removed paint .

Got Magnum Sheilding Braided Lines all over, been on for about 3 years & no yellowing, no problems so far
