ok here's pics of the switch pods.
the left side i found at an electronics salvage yardfor $3....it's from a pocket bike/scooter of some sorts.
the right side is off of a street bike i picked it up at a motorcycle salvage yard for $10.
the other pic is a closeup of the hydraulic mountain bike brake setup.

That looks sweet. Whats your thoughts about having your bar stool 45 degrees from straight on with the frame? Do you think its better that way and was is easy to mount verse the normal set up?

thanks.

i mounted the stool that way to clear the carborator cuz the leg was directly in the middle of the opening of the carb, i had to add cross braces under the floor boards for mounting points and a little one up front, i don't think it was more easy or better it's just how it had to be. i guess it worked out in my favor cuz it gave me a place to mount the steering column brace and the beer oops i mean beverage holder.
