Tank Lift Kit with Clip Ons?

Tank Lift Kit with Clip Ons?
Hey guys, I've had a tank lift kit installed for a few months now, but I just installed clip on handlebars and I feel like the tank sticks out a bit much.
What do you think?
Thing is, if I want to lower that tank back I've already gotten rid of the wire hiding plastic bit from underneath when I tucked it in. Should I leave the tank as is? Or lower it and move the wires? And where might I move them?

If you do decide you want to redo you wire tuck with no tank lift, the following link has a step-by-step (with pics) on how to do it.

So I've installed the bars functionally, changed out the brake line with a 28" one and, yes, lowered that tank back down. It looks sick from behind but from the front the hunchback is just too pronounced.
I did have to drill a hole to relocate that speedo using DK's kit. No knock to DK's advice, but it was quite impossible, alas, to find a good position for it with the clip ons on. The bike could point forward, but after that, the clutch would hit the speedo immediately.
lemme see if I can get the pictures up . .
