Brakes and Fork Advice - First Post

Hello everyone, I am new to the KZ scene. I just purchased a 1977 KZ650 C1 that I am building into a brat style bike. This is my first build and I want to do it right. I cut the frame and I'm fabbing up a loop for it, I have the carbs off and I'm about to rebuild them, I am waiting to get my tank back from being boiled and then I'm going to paint it, so now I'm onto the chassis related stuff.
First off I need new lines and front and rear master cylinders, any ideas where to get good ones that won't kill my budget?

Secondly I need to rebuild the fork and need to get seals and hopefully some progressive springs if anyone makes them, any advice for the best places to get this stuff?

I need quite a few parts for this bike so does anyone know a good supplier to get these things from and other items such as a throttle assembly with cables and engine stuff like points and coils?

I am ditching the stock wiring and have made a custom harness without gauges and only a headlamp and taillight.

Thanks,
Jake
