update 1977 750k cable over hyd. front brake

old bob
I  mounted the front master cylinder with a piece of old handle bar welded to the frame. Made a controll arm to hold a 1/2" bead i made out of a old 1/2" bolt. I think it looks OK! What do you guys think. I'm going to move onto the front fender I got one off a 1984 shadow vt700c will see how it go's

Looks pretty neat. I wonder how it will feel when breaking? Would also be cool to hide it under the seat.

It would work. I used a clutch cable. It would make there. But you would be running some hyd. lines

I found a place near me that makes up stainless steel break lines. They did all the lines on the Toolmatic when I installed duel disc front breaks, for $51.00. this even included new banjo bolts, and copper washers. the Company is Tompkins Ind. They have stores all over the country.
