I wonder what I would have to list my bike as when it is done, it will be a collection of parts from triumph, kawasaki, honda, .....
So far, I have a Kawapriliaha, but I'm not done yet...

... I chose the master because it was the stock application match, accepting all along that it might be a wash. The stock adjustable Brembo levers could be dialed-in to shorten the available stroke, but I'm pretty sure I'll need all of it anyways; I am seeing 13-14mm of m/c travel at the bar (the stoke bottoms before the lever hits the grip).
...
.... When I get it all put together I will start a new thread with details about parts and movements versus cable actuated to make it easier for anyone else loking at it.
I also have a couple of different levers and perches (one stock and one from a kz900) so I will see if one of my neighbors had a fish scale to measure the lever pull weights and post those as well.

Nice work! That guy is an ace welder, beautiful seams. Yeah, if using needle bearings if the linkage bits are not all in the same planes ugly things will happen...
What you did with the channel is what I was thinking about doing to strengthen a stock XS650 SA. It will still look pretty much stock but be stiffer.
Looks like WAY too many holes in that disc to me. Depends on what you're aiming for. are you looking for maximum cooling or looks? I've just never seen a disc drilled with that many holes.
i'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, just thinking out loud.
The holes have several purposes, one is cooling but there are more important ones.
