Be careful, whe way you put the brake line on to the caliper made a lot of stress to the old rubber parts!!!

It looks bad in the picture, but it not as tight as it looks, I will revisit.

Very pretty. Nice work. Interesting solution for the Ltd seat.
The stock seat is kind of ugly, but in the case of a full restoration like this, I would have just kept it. :)

Beautiful bike!
Like Scirocco said, that hose comes in from the top. Otherwise the banjo bolt forms a high spot for air to get caught.

I don't want to speak for him, but I think he may have meant "constructive criticism" rather than "negativity".

I think he is ignoring the easiest safety notes/rules to save his own life or health.

My guess is that refers to the ugly seat not the upside down brake line. Rest of the bike looks great. But more importantly, how does it ride.
