I like your style Fawksey. looks as if your handlebars are the “Standard” model bend ? If you should happen to pass by a standard model master cylinder to have as a spare and rebuild you may see an advantage of the cast mount shape and angle which the master cylinder would sit at. Maybe grab it !Going to have to get her down those stone steps and in through the kitchen into the back.
Well, the master cylinder change alone would not necessarily improve braking performance. However a properly functioning MC with improved modern brake line and caliper maintenance with new pads will help. So many of us try to improve those later style front brakes because by now they are all just terrible. If you were satisfied with it, you’d likely be busting up your tranny down shifting and engine braking lol. My own personal preference is to add the left caliper used with the original MC but others prefer to change components for more modern. Suppose it’s all decided by your style and recourses available.Think it’ll make a difference? The brakes are bad enough for me to throw an anchor out.
Check out PDR tools to push the dent from inside the tank, if you know it was done you can see the repair but from 6 feet my tank repair isn't obvious.I started tearing down my frame amd chemical stripped the paint off my factory fuel tank!

Yesterday I built an aluminum air dam under the front in the hopes of pushing more cooling air onto the jugs.
