Beautiful!! What did you do with the front master cylinder (handbrake/brakefluid holder)? Take the paint off? Polished the aluminium? Or bought an aftermarket one?

It's stock but polished to remove all the faded black turned brown/purple anodize off.

All that work and you have to plow through dirt to get to the highway? I think we should take up a collection so you can get that road paved. Very nice! Those add-on lights and bags look like they were made for each other. Nice retro look.
