So far,
removed fork ears, bottom mount chrome headlight (still sitting a little high, would like it a bit lower), new master cylinder and front brake line (straight line from MC to caliper, removed lower triple junction), cb400 super sport handlebars (drilled out for internal wiring).
I'm liking where it's going...

mechanically not much to report. 7000 original miles, all stock motor with added dyna ignition, running like an absolute champ.

Nice looking bike! I like that bottom mount headlight look. What length for the brake line did you use? Also what master cylinder did you go with?

Thanks! I had HEL make me the brake line, 33", it's a little tight, probably should have gone closer to 36"-ish. I got the MC from 4into1, wanted something vintage looking, had to switch to a hydraulic brake light switch.
