Looking awesome maybe checkerboard handle grips to match the seat.

Here is my Jed Clamp-It Bars idea.
If I was using these, I would be cutting off two section as such.
I'm not going to cut these, because I have a different set of bars in trasnsit to me. But I can flip the bars and get an feel for the idea in this position. You just have to imagine the excess portions aren't there.

I like what I am seeing from the mockups so far. Drivability-wise, the placement of the grips is great. The other thing these clip on brackets allow is a ton of flexibility on the placement and angles of the bars. I can easily rotate from a perpindicular mount to swepted back bars and anything in between. I can also raise or lower the height of the bars by lowering the brackets down the fork legs.
The 7/8 clamps have an angle to them too. In my mockups I mounted the brackets so that it angles the bar ends downwards.
I can just as easily switch the brackets to the other fork legs in a manner that the bar ends angle upwards. I'll figure all that out when the other bars arrive.

I like the look of thosr bars down low in that last photo!
What do the 'clips ' in your first post of Bar-cos episodes actually clip on to?

They aren't down low in any of the pics. All are showing them mounted just under the top plate of the triple tree.
The clamps slide onto the 38mm (1.5") fork legs and onto the 7/8"handlebars.

Your build is amazing. It really inspires . If I were eat popcorn while watching this treatment probably I would blow up 
- so addicted.

Nice, you can put the compression cap right in to the crown now!
Where you grip the handlebar in the last photo looks lower to me than the first position you showed.
Now I see the bars were actually upside down in your first photos. So forget what I said ^ in my previous comment.
Such a beautiful bike.
That could be an option, but if I stick with this saddle, I probably won't use anymore checkers. I wouldn't want it to be too much like my Holeshot build.
Yeah, the flexibility of the various ways I can mount and position the bars is a big draw for me. I can't wait until the bars I ordered get here. (hopefully early this week).
Yes, I was holding off on cutting the steertube until I proved that the clip on would give me what I wanted.
Then I was thinking that I would still leave enough height so that I would still have the option of these forks anywhere else in the future. Silly me, I should cut it down all the way, then if I wanted a regular stem with these forks years down the road, all I need to do is get a longer steertube. That forkplate is gonna look sick with no steertube and the clipons under the top plate.
I'll leave this little jewel here. I couldn't resist it when it popped on the CABE in April.

DRILL HOLES IN...

Ok it's official, i quit!
I actually tested a couple of guards back on day 1
This one didn't feel right. Of course if I used it I would have stripped it down to chrome.
But I did like the Spaceliner guard right away.

Spaceliner guard has a fast look to it, and could blend in well with the overall vibe!
That was my thought when I first saw it pop on the CABE.
I loved having fun with the one that I had on Flexy.
