Default Really strange

I was looking at my mirrors for ideas on how to move them or extend them to get a better view and saw...

.. the throttle cables going through the forks above the headlight.

That normal? I would have figured them being a bit more attached to the bars and more hidden. If they arent right, please let me know where they should be going and I will wrench them into place before the big rides on Friday.

Here is some PICs of the bike to see what I am talking about:

Side View (click here)
and Semi-Front View (click here)

The cables look normal to me.

The cables on my 2000 were that way until I put on the apes.

Those cables and the brake line on the other side just destroy the look of my front end. I might wrench things anyway. Really bugging me

You could do an internal throttle&nbsp\\;($300) and remove your front brake. I don't recommend the later. You do have a nice lookin' scoot. The cables are presently routed correctly.
