Default Is it easy to install stainless steel cables?

I got a great deal on a full set of stainless steel cables (front brake, clutch, and 2 throttle). Is there anything I should know about installing the clutch and throttle cables or is it pretty straight forward? I picked it all up for $50 brand new on craigslist. The brake cable is a Goodridge and the others are made by Baron.

It is simple. Just follow the directions in the manual and take your time. The throttle adjustment takes the longest.

As an afterthought, when I did mine, I also went to Phatt performance and bought some stainless steel covers and covered the wiring. Again, reasonably cheap and easy to do. Just pay attention, draw diagrams showing what wire went where and take your time.

make your own manual, as you take off a cable document with photos or write down how you removed it, when you install the new you just reverse the process. Check for the torque values for the brake line banjo bolts and use this forum to make a proper clutch adjustment. If you do the wiring too don't forget to disconnect the battery.
