Yeah, as I said, I really don't like the full Exile-package. Looks too clean and a bit weird to me. But as far as clean goes, with the internal clutch and the front brake controlled with your right foot, you can't get much "cleaner".

Regarding the brakelight-switch. Most of the aftermarked master cylinders don't have it. Theres no way you can use the original switch, when you change your controls.

I'm sure I could use one of those preassurised banjobolt things, but I'd preffer getting a set with the switch.

Just got some e-mail responses from both JayBrake and Joker Machine. JayBrake can only deliver the switch on the 5/8" bore, and Joker Machine could not make me a set in polished aluminium.

So what are my other alternatives?

Jay... don't know the answer on that one. Sounds like you are ahead on that one. I think you are going down the right track though. Calling all the big players and asking them specifics. You might want to call Hawg Halters too... they are a pretty custom shop as they come. I called before and talked about a few things with questions and they are real cool.
