              I'm not seeing the cables in the pictures, don't know where you hid them but did good. Usually with those waaay lower bars, the cables appear a little out of place from the extra length looped around with no place to properly be hidden... Also, Just a tip, I've seen far too many bikes that have too low handlebars and let the controls hit and dent the front corners tank. Your bars are waaay lower than stock, just be sure they can't cause a problem...Your bike and all you've done looks really great... almost, It's just me but I dislike black on bikes, I'm more of a happier color guy, but you did great, congrats.... Absolutely does deserve that BOTM trophy

                There’s definitely some creative cable routing going on behind the headlight and under the tank- took some trial and error to get rid of any sharp bend or pinches, but it’s smooth now.
                The original bars were bent, and the short ones I just had lying around. They’re the only modification on the bike (other than a stator), but I liked the look of them. You’re right- I had to be VERY careful when adjusting the angle and the blocky controls, but it clears!
                And very glad to get BOTM- but I owe it to the forum
                for all the good info!
