I run my clutch cable through the forks (& re-routed it so it doesn't run under & around the Dyna's front motor mount). Motion-Pro makes some pretty slick & not too expensive clamps that'll help out a lot with routing the clutch cable & keeping it where you want it.

I would run the clutch cable through the forks. My opinion just a cleaner look, and keeps it out of the way. Cool looking handlebars!

I ran it like it was, but I think I'll go through the forks instead like the throttle cables.
These are 14", I've got a set of 12" still in the box if anyone's interested.

I had to experiment with rolling them forwards and backwards before I found the sweet spot for comfort.

Were you able to keep your stock wires and cables with those bars?

Well I installed the Rocker Lockers, couldn't get the left rear rocker bolt out so I had to do it in place. Not a big deal.
Still waiting on the crimps so I can button it up.

I also rerouted my clutch cable so it's through the forks.

For those following this thread,
The Rocker Lockers are in, new bars are on, new clutch cable, wires extended (soldered, heat shrink and new crimp on connectors for the OEM Molex connectors), new top end gaskets.
The engine is super quiet, even when it's running (that's a joke). All you hear is exhaust.
I'll take a picture tomorrow, my garage is a mess and would be to distracting for you purests.
