Now this is a very interesting build. Why did you mount the master cylinder on the frame? Wont it be difficult to use the break?

I like that Kawasaki tail section on there. Looks great. Good idea. Seat pan looks well done also. Why no clutch? Are you going to put an automatic in?

Hi, I moved the fork tubes up and with the small drag bars the master cylinder hit the tube. I had some old style sporster levers so I put them on and will run a cabel to the master cylinder, it will work just like a rear hyd. brake. Bob

Hi, I had to change the front brake lever so I cut off the clutch side so it would match. I had some old style sporster levers so I'm going to use them. Thanks Bob

Cable over hydraulic. That's an idea. I want to see how you do it. Need more pictures.

I need to make a new plunger lever that will accept the cable bead. I'll post pictures as soon as it's done.
