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.
