HOKAY. So. I ordered a 12.7mm master cylinder, all-metal (except for the glass) mirrors, some standard bars and a set of generic grips from eBay. Had a $25.00 coupon burning a hole in my virtual wallet. Here's hoping it all works out to suit me!
Incidentally, I found the same vendor who I got my master cylinder from has a "sloped" master cylinder that's quite reasonable. k1motorcycles, I think the name is; I got the master cylinder for my Honda CB650 from them. They're the same "inexpensive" Chinese master cylinders you can get from a number of vendors, but k1motorcycles builds them in the US and backs them pretty well. You never know when you buy direct from the Chinese vendors if the parts are any good or not, but most of the Chinese parts being resold by American vendors are of the "better" grade. At least, that's my experience so far both with motorcycle parts and electronics.
