Project XTracker: Rear brake master cylinder mounted

After a summer break I finally got back to Project XTracker. I got the rear brake master cylinder mounted and hooked up to the stock brake pedal components. I welded in a small bracket to the frame for mounting the master cylinder. Then I built up a clevis to mount to the stock rear brake lever. The clevis needed an extension to attach to the master cylinder plunger. The master cylinder I'm using off a GSXR has a M8 threaded plunger so some M8 threaded rod welded to the clevis and a coupler joined the 2 and it works perfect. I still need to get the reservoir mounted. I may need to track down a smaller reservoir. New brake lines are on order too...
