I found the same to be true - maybe the new line is of higher quality.

I asked GenMar to add that to the notes on the risers - to make sure that 
you (the purchaser) pick up some new crush washers. At the local triumph 
dealer, mine were only 75 cents each.

The cables are added to the kit as a convenience so that the customer 
doesn't have to run around looking for a new cable. The assumption was that 
the crush washers (like the new brake fluid that is also needed) are 
readily available from local sources and therefore is one less thing that 
they (GenMar) have to worry about stocking.

will be happy to add it if he finds that it works.
