I recently had to buy a new clutch cable, and knowing that those don't need to be replaced that often I decided to just buy the best quality I could find. After asking some questions at the dealer, my indy and other riders the majority recommended the Barnetts.
I ended up going with the steel braided as my brake is already braided(Russell) and I plan on switching the throttle as well in the future.
All I can say is WOW! The effort to pull it in is nothing. I know my old one was in bad shape, but come on, after a hour in bumper to bumper my left forearm looked like popeye's! It moves so smothly that the first time I tried to take off I almost ended up stalling it because there was barely any resistance. I guess the trick is that the inner cable is coated with teflon so there is no metal to metal contact. I imagine with a barnett and that easy pull thingy, my clutch would feel like a hydro. All I know is that I am sold, and the throttle cables are getting changed soon.
If you have ever wished that your clutch was a little easier to pull or, if your like myself, and came from dirtbikes and two fingered clutching is what your used to then by all means go get a Barnett.
