Lokar is great, but I used Spectre on the last two I did and they were identical to Lokar, but cheaper priced. $35.99 at Summit and free hipping right now!

By the time you get done running around, chasing the connectors, firewall nut arrangement, etc you have spent beyond the Lokar black $39. Mr Gasket has a $26 version but that firewall adapter is pretty chintzy. Do your search here.

don't know exactly what ur looking for....

but i went to walmart and got a bag of bike brake cable.. cut the length and installed.. works great, just what i needed, and alot cheaper then the catalog pricing. i got chrome end covers to clean up the cuts too... why pay more... it worked for me but may not work for u....
