That would put the front and rear cable housings crossing each other almost directly over the handlebar stem.

I'm just rambling on.. Did I mention that it looks great..?
I appreciate your input, and thanks for tip on the cable clamp Getting the cable crossing symmetrically is a detail I appreciate. Thanks for your kinds words about the bike, too. I'm pretty damn happy with how it's coming along.

I just ordered a vintage-style wound SS housing for the rear from Yokozuna.
