Default Deuce people, need your help again - cables

Well, we have the wife's Wild1 low profile pullback drags on her Deuce. The bars look great but I'm struggling with the cables a little bit. Pics are of the current setup.

Internally ran control wires - done and looks good. Very clean.
SS brake line routed through center hole and down. Again, very clean.

The clutch and idle/throttle cables are where I'm looking for some suggestions. I know a few of you have these bars on your Deuce. I am soliciting comments, lessons learned, etc.

Clutch, Idle, and throttle cables are currently stock length. The idle/throttle cables are binding up because of the bend created by the new bar shape. You can see from the pics how the clutch cable is routed.

Here's my dilemma: This is the wife's primary scoot so I want it to be perfect. I also want it to look good.

My intent is to get the clutch cable routed better. Best case I want it through the center hole in the trees but I am worried about hard lever pull from the bends required to get it routed that way.

I also need to do something with the idle/throttle cables. I have a set of +6 SS cables from another project that I was thinking I could route inside the right fork tube. It looks like the cables won't bind up that way and +6 looks like enough play to ensure full operation of the bars.

Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

One more pic....

The chrome zip tie on the throttle-idle cables and the riser tube is a bandaid. It holds the cables up so they don't bind as much. But they still stick.
