Remove the shit you don't need, improve the stuff that remains.

Sounds easy, but...

Haha I know it sounds easy. But to make it look classy and not like a slapped together rat ride takes some real elbow grease. I'm having the biggest struggle trying to figure out what to do with the battery and wiring

When I was a kid, I read something that asked how to carve an elephant out of a block of soap stone...  The answer was quite simply, "Remove everything that doesn't look like an elephant."

That's kinda what I was thinking. It's more of simplifying the wiring that's the issue there is rats nest of wires spliced and soddered together. It's all gonna go. I would like to salvage so e of it if possible.

So I also am gonna need some new throttle and choke cables. Anyone know of a good source to maybe get some made. Or is it better to just eBay some.

Get a hold of Motion Pro they make cables and have cable kits etc.  http://www.motionpro.com/  Wiring ? Try to run some through the frame tube ? Make a tube that looks like its part of the frame for a wiring conduit ?  Just throwing crap in the digital camp fire.
