Hey thanks for the complements folks! I did just remove the lower fork shrouds and front fender and it looks great as you all suggested it would. As far as cables I had to have new ones made. Got them from Bellacourse. Awesome to deal with, but beware that there is a 6 week turnaround time. I needed mine about 5" longer. The Biltwell bars feel incredible when riding. Can't give enough praise to that company!
