Has anyone removed them bulky switch housings yet? I would love to clean my bars up this winter. Fab Kevin makes a master cylinder that mounts on the lower trees and runs a cable to the brake lever. Just gotta figure out where to put all the controls. I don't have blinkers so that's one I don't have to worry about.

Fab Kevin is a bike fabricator who's rather well known in the garage/home based bike building community. I've heard him interviewed a few times on Biker Radio Magazine.

If you are going as far as relocating the master cyl. and want clean bars. Maybe get those backwards hand levers for the clutch and brake so the cables are inside the bars too or even twist grip cable pulls.

He's like a god over at The Horse magazine. He does some cool stuff.
