Nice bike, and fantastic work, Tim.

I like a bike that has usable brakes, and I don't subscribe to the "one is enough" mind set, I LIKE BIG BRAKES, ones set up to work the right way, not lock the front wheel up with a single finger pull. that setup looks just right for that size bike.

I can't see that well, did you add one of those calipers to the rear brake? Looks like the stock RZ one. Of course, I never use the rear brake unless it is dire staits, but nice to know it was there, as well.

NOS aftermarket lever installed. There was a slight clearance issue at the brake lite switch, solved with a cut off vacuum plug.

just saw this close up. id suggest heat shrink insulating the bare plugs on the switch. if the hot one happens to come loose it will short and blow a fuse quick. + will look a lot better. just my .02
