Well got the missing piece of the seat from Mustang. So that's complete now:

Finally got the taillight to cooperate, and go on:

Everything has been converted over to Dot 4, and just to make sure there are no mistakes:

I did want some way to lock the gas cap. Surprisingly not a lot of options out there that I could find. Settled on the cover lock kit from Harley:

There grips were on the bike originally for as long as I could remember. They eventually wore out, and my mom swapped them out for some Harley ones. I always liked these better though, so I picked up a new set:

Not yet. My new wheels have shipped, so just waiting on those to arrive. They are coming with different size rotors. Already have the adapter brackets, and calipers. There is a local place that can make lines for me if I need them.

Kind of torn on the brembo master cylinder as it means it would have an odd ball lever on that side. So for the moment I'm going to see how the stock master cylinder feels.

the brembo is worth the feel, but the lever will definitely be different.

speigler is a great resource for lines. if you go brembo you'll likely need the appropriate banjo as brembo uses a different thread pitch than most (its a 1.0 thread pitch if memory serves correct).

i usually stock the correct banjo (in titanium too) for brembo's.
