I got the L&M Platinums and liked them because they look closet to chrome They cost way more BUT the CABLE IS SUPERIOR and the action is ultra smooth!
I never installed mine so if you want Ill take a picture of all my platinums and show ya...

I have them up for sale also! I can save you some cash!!!! PM me

 

[CBSIMONSEZ]

Thanks yall. I appreciate all the responses. Platinum it is.

I would buy the used ones, but im getting a great package deal thru L&M for a truck load of goodies. And now that i think of it, yours probably wont fit, as i need a custom line for the rear brake because of my Accutronix forwards.

I got the platinum as well... oh and btw,

Those fork covers look great! Make sure you save a set for me when you get done making them, can't wait to pop those on!

Does anyone know where I could get colored cables? I emailed Chris at L&M but they cant get them even though the website shows colors. I need something to contrast with the silver bike and chrome bits.

Well, today I was searching the Forum for Cable possibles and really wanted the L&M Platinum. BUT I guess everyone who is getting the 8 degree trees have ordered them and L&M didn't (or won't) reply to my e-mail.

SO.... I am thinking about the Honda Cables because I can get them quick as I want to change the cables when I install the Trees.

Anyone have them and could report as to the look/function I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Really? L&M turning down a sale? Interesting.

Hey there, can't help but notice that you took off the front brake rotor! How often do you ride? And... How many times do you change your shorts when riding. Seems like the slow down is much longer without the front rotor. imo.

Damn, finally someone noticed. Honestly, these are DIY fork seals. Got the alum. from a friend, pays to have a dad whose a machinist and a another friend with a chrome shop. I made some measurements and drawings and had dad punch'm out. Thought about making up a bunch but since the happenings on the forum of late, I'd just as soon stay away from that sort of thing.

Furyfun.....I fell off the turnip truck but the back tire did miss me Rotor off due to work in progress. Was getting just enough back on bike after new trees and forks chromed to get my baby out of my damn girl friends building and back home where she belongs. Check post out about removing rear hub asby and you'll see rotor is back on.

The GF had the better building to do the winter projects in......took care of that problem and had a 12x20 building delivered to my house 2 wks back. Bike is home, front end back together......now the rear end is all apart
I 100% agree on the in ur site, the bike that is.

Those cables would go great with my silver baby.
Wonder if they ship over seas?

Very cool CTC. If you ever decide to produce or sell them let me know.
