Definately a couple of clutch cable clamps, but defiantely a great idea that's a helluva lot cheaper than the Accutronix mount for Sportster/SuperGlide riders that want Drags.

But notice that you can no longer see your light panel/cluster with the OP's link set up, (oil/brights/neutral/blinkers lights) now without leaning forward due to them sitting ~3" or more below the top clamp, which blocks your whole view of them. Not a big deal, just pointing it out.
