So I switched out the stem to a 90mm Nitto Dynamic with my Nitto Noodle bars, also added some Tektro R200 levers. The reach feels way better than it did before, I am not constantly scooting forward like I was before.
As for the cables and adjustments, the rear derailleur still feels week even after tightening the tension screw on the shifter. even when I grab it it doesn't give me that snap back like it used to do, if that makes sense. I might try and look for something else to put on it.
here is how it sits now.
