What are you going to do with your Fazer this winter...?

[darrsi]

I’ve always bitten the bullet and bought oem cables and brake pads, even though the prices are a real wallet stretcher :'( . The cables I changed purely as a precaution, nothing wrong with them, just didn’t want a failure to spoil any trip I might be on. Buy cheap, buy twice is still relevant I think. Plus the fact the job has to be done twice.

In this case I could've bought 5 times. I know OEM stuff can be overpriced, but it generally is far superior.
At first the Slinky cable felt great, as it should do when new, but performance went 'rapidly' downhill.
Had 2 people ask me straight away if I compared the lengths of each cable out of curiosity, but as I pulled the new one through taped to the old one it wasn't really an option.
