I recently installed Mark's Rack with Wald Basket on front of my AHH. The routing of the bar end shifter cables around the basket is a little awkward. It looks like they would prefer to go right through the basket, but they are forced lateral and underneath. Not a big deal, but I am considering moving the Mark Rack and basket to the rear.
