Chuck used the Exile unit also. After reading about Rob's issues with the Streamline, I'm glad I did!
I don't understand the statement you made and then looking at the pic, Rocker Dan. You say to run the brake line inside the bars for the super-clean look, but then have a clutch cable on the other side.......

Dan, The brake line kit is seperate. i used Goodridge sniper kit. Its a self assemble and a pain in the *** to do it. The actual line was very easy to snake thru the bars since its a -2 and very flexiable.

Ive done many bars and these were extremely easy now keep in mind I replaced all my switches So I ran only four 16 or 18 guage wire to each side..

Yea Chuck in the third person..lol.. My plans are to run a hyd clutch next but I guess at this point as smooth as possible ... keep in mind i also have grips, a mirror and a brake resevior and two levers so i guess the super clean look will never be accomplished. just saying
