Have not done it myself, but have heard of people just loosening the tank and using the old cables to install new ones. Just tape the new cables on to the ends of the old ones and pull em through. Sounds simple enough...Good luck.

Unbolt the tank and stick a wood block under the front on top of the frame too hold it up an inch or two higher, basically as far as the fuel crossover will allow. This will give you a little more working room. I've replaced the throttle and idler cables this way, no problem.
