Thanks! It's been a fun build!
Seen the question about cables. I know you said you used all the stock cables, but on my 48 I had to make a longer front brake line. I used all the other stock cables though. Just for some info for others, I used the Magum Shielding "BYO" black stainless cable kit. About $55.Got the 6ft line and cut it down to about 45". part # 496190a

Been doing research on cable kits for new handlebars.....expensive. But after reading two people say they didn't have to buy longer cables for their Z bars gives me hope again.
All I had to do was bend the stock brake cable a bit, I loosened the clamps and straightened the metal piece. Not the best looking but it works for now I will be replacing them with braided cables at some point.

Do you recall if you got 60 or 35 degree banjos in your kit? Or another angle for that matter.
