Default 1 1/4" WideGlide handlebars installed!

I just finished installing the 1 1/4" WideGlide handlebars on my '07 FXSTSSE.

everything works great and they feel awesome!
The only thing that bothers me a little is the length of the throttle/ Idle cables.
I ordered the same length cables that a WideGlide/softail Custom/ X-Bones have, 32.5" and I feel that they could be about 4" longer to look just right.

the throttle works fine with the length that I have now..

here are a couple of quick pics I took with my cellphone..

they are stock '06 HD Wide Glide bars, the only other thing I had to replace, aside from the throttle/ idle cables and clutch line, was the clutch master cylinder, I ordered an '09 FXSTSSE clutch master cylinder. (it was redesigned in '09)

Been wanting to change my stock bars, BUT with the speedo and tach mounted to the bars, I am having problems finding the proper parts to change that around (the FXDSE bars have the gauge buckets welded to the bars).
