Cables ordered...apes soon to be installed
Finally ordered my cables from Drew for the 12.5 wild1's I grabbed off ebay in a drunken stupid moment. Time to install in my frozen garage now...
Anyone have any pointers or offer any insight as to what mistakes not to make?

Dry fit the bars after putting the old risers back on, love the look and feel. It's pretty cold out so progress is slow, now I've got to take the old controls off and get things ready for the cables to arrive.
I probably should have asked when spending $300 on new cables...but I never thought to ask what comes included with new "cables". What happens with the brake line? Do they come as part of a cable package? I understand throttle and clutch cables, just wondering about the brake.
After looking at he pic I remembered I forgot to clean up some loktite I spilled when installing the risers, it's been about 2 days...will it stain the chrome? I need to clean off the drips when I get home...man it's 8 degrees in that garage now...

You can actually see a kerosene heater to the left in the pic, but the ceiling is open to the attic in the garage...I'll probably fire up the kerosene and put it at my back. Until the cables show up I'm on hold, don't want to disconnect much until I'm ready to go...don't want to forget a piece or a step or whatever. I'm looking forward to getting it behind me, I'll have to relocate my signals as well and grab a new set of mirrors to complete to transformation.
It's been a warm winter so far, no snow in the forecast for the next ten days, some rain....crazy for NH to have rain in the forecast mid January.
