Seat, BB, and Handlebars:

    

After trying several combinations of seat locations and angles I decided that the frame was still too long so I took it apart and cut 4 more inches out of the rearmost section.  After that I repositioned the shock, seat and back support and brazed them in their final positions.

I then made some poly-carbonate blocks to located and secure the boom.  I'll put a slot on the bottom of the boom and braze on a clamp.

    

For the handle bar I cut and taped a short length of aluminum stock to fill the stem.  I fabricated a couple of plates for the hinge.  The bars are designed to swing up for easy dismounts.

The black thing you see about 2/3 of the way up is the top of a second stem that I'm using as a clamp to secure the telescoping steering column.  The handle bars are off of the Bridgestone and I'll probably nip a few inches off the ends.

Gotta test ride it . . .
