I said in my build thread you can do this. My friend did his xt500 ones and they are cloth covered braid as to why I had a go. The only thing you will find is the stainless is too gold and it doesnt adhere perfect . I never liked the gold so a light going over the braid with a green nylon scourer bought it back to normal.
