I appreciate the advice, brothers. You made me think it through. So I'll just continue on in this thread if you don't mind. I got things back together as far as the front fork, front brake rotor, brake caliper, front fender and wheel.




The new handlebars have not arrived yet. I ordered a set of solid handlebar bushings. Here is a picture of them:

This is the handlebar the bike will now be getting:

It will get these bar end lights:

It will get these grips:

and one of these mirrors probably hung below the bar on the left:

Lastly, it will be getting a new OEM front brake line with new fittings, new OEM black switch covers, new switch wiring, and a new front brake master cylinder.

Geez, what a fussy bunch!

The new handlebars arrived. Also, the bar end lights and the new switch wiring. Looks like I can get started!

I kind of missed why you're not going forward with the drag bars. The Ness bars look cool, too.
