I've toyed with putting a rocker clutch and hand shift, like a friend's bike I used to drive back in the 70's, on my 2001 Springer... but they don't make kits for early twin cams. Since I'm not as good with custom modifications as you... I'll just have to enjoy my Springer shifting it the "new" way with my left hand clutch...

Man as the previous owner of a panhead (60 on a 57 Frame) for close to 30 years that thing is awesome. Congratulations on an amazing job. I'm sure it's driving you a bit crazy but wondering if there is a way to relocate the front brake master cylinder maybe even inside the tins. The handlebars are stupid clean and it just looks a touch out of place. Here is my old one which now lives with my brother in Florida.
That is an awesome bike Atlas Grey, love how clean you kept the lines on it! Thanks for sharing, I just absolutely love the look of all the knuckle and panheads.
I'd looked a bit at places to hide the master cylinder and do the repro brake lever because I 100% agree with you that it would look great to clean up the handlebars even more. I was having a hard time finding a remote master that was small enough to mount any of the few places I had room that could hide it. I will admit besides matching up the bore size the brakes aren't my specialty.
If you happen to know of a remote master cylinder that would work please let me know, any help would be much appreciated!

I will ask my brother as he does lots of custom bike builds to see if he knows of anything. Again, stunning motorcycle. You could easily start your own retromod company with that level of work.
