Default Clutch Conversion

Has any one every converted from a Cable Clutch to a Hydraulic Clutch. I am concidering running my cables (Brake & Clutch) through my bars when I install them. I elieve that the Hyd lines will run better cause the cable can bind on the tight turns. Any knowledge in if this can be done or knowhow on how to do it would be helpful.

The Victory based Chopper I had used a hyd slave with the short cable. It kept pulling the end off of the cable. It was a major pain in the ***.
