Will do!
The cable did not want to go into the hole. The cable end rarely wants to go in that hole, but once I ran a proper tap through the hole it went on like a charm.

I got all I can do for the clutch cable install until the new clutch release cover gasket arrives. I will say this - the fat bob clutch cable does appear to be the spot on perfect length/fit.

This is what is left to do:
~wire the handlebar switch wiring to the bike. I'm currently waiting on the H-D prewired handlebar switch and cover set.
~install a front brake line, prepare & set up the front brake.
~install new throttle and idle cable, adjust throttle
~ install the LED mini front turn signals
- set up new speedometer
~new HD grips and bar end mirror set.
~ finish clutch cable install - install new clutch release cover gasket, install cover, and fill transmission, adjust clutch free play
~ some other minor things not worth mentioning

What size are your wheels? Looks like a 21 up front but can't tell on the rear. Is it an 18?
I really like the look of the first drag bars, but good call with the Fat Bob setup. It will be much more comfortable and still look cool. I can't believe it never occurred to me to strip the black off the stock risers. Great idea!
