I had BB's on my RKC once. Because the bars ride lower on the bike I found that the cables were stretched tight and ran over the gas tank on slow turns. Eventually this rubbed a spot on the clear coat. The only way I know how not to have this happen is to replace the cables (+2's").

If you get full beach,YES you will need new cables. You want them to be relaxed like in this picture. I got these from "Flanders" and they are 1 1/4" all the way through. I say that because MOST are reduced at hook up to 1". Really comfortable! and they gave me the look I was after, don't settle.
