Hey man, thanks for checking out the video. Man I’m delighted to hear you’re considering giving it a go. I had zero experience when I started the build. It’s daunting I know, but the community is amazing, and you can find anything you need to from KZread and online forums. I can’t encourage you enough :) you won’t be sorry. In the first video of season one, I made a video setting up the reason why I was going to give it a try, and I had no confidence with it. I’ve learned so much, and have so much more confidence with it. The hard part, is making yourself stick to it. The build may take you a year or two, so it’s important to give yourself a realistic deadline. If you ever need help, just reach out 👍

But I don't think I would recommend them as you don't have adjustment for the angle, only up/down along the fork and rotating away or toward the rider. I hope that helps.

I used the Motogadget M-Unit controller and because of that I could use the RebelMoto pushbutton controls. I bought the clutch lever from Amazon, however, I wouldn't recommend this lever. I believe DimeCityCycles have better ones for the same price. I ended up using the stock master cylinder. In Season one, I have videos showing the install of the switches and the M-Unit in detail along with links in the descriptions which you may find interesting. If you go to the "CB750K 1977 Cafe/Brat Build" playlist, you will see the video. Happy building :)
