Bob, I have never disconnected from the throttle sleeve side, always from the carb side. However, being as how you have to reroute the cables, which requires access to where they are now, you'll have to remove the petrol tank anyway. So disconnecting the throttle cables from the carbs is in your face, so to say.
OEM Throttle cable route:

Note: Ryan has not re-routed his throttle cables. Edited: Yes he has...
