Yes, yes and yes. Here is a picture of my 1997 Wide Glide, I went full internals, throttle cable, hydraulic clutch line and brake line. I used the internal throttle from Exile Cycles, real nice piece. I have been checking out the new one from Nash Customs, his negates the return spring allowing for built in cruise control. My two older bike have no return springs and I have started to prefer that setup for long rides and rider fatigue. But if you like the return spring, I would recommend Exile unit all day. J&P sells one, it is junk stay away.
I customized the cable housing to put the adjuster elbow above the carb under the gas tank. Yes to adjust the cable I have to remove the rear tank bolt and lift the tank with a 2x4 , not a big deal as it is not something you do every 500 miles. And it is as clean as a nuns .........

Not to mention this is basically a newer version of the "spirals" used by HD for throttle and timing advance on the older bikes.
