Noticed the question about the silver thing on the right hand side next to the fuel line was not answered, That is a crankcase breather filter.

I upgraded the front brakes to a two line Galfer Braided Lines Kit and Nissin 5/8" master cylinder for better front braking response. I can say it is great improvement with little effort on the brake lever and improve feel. This is the same master cylinder on Randakk's RC-003.
Did not need to change brake pads still had a lot on them.
The line on the right is for the rear. Have not change that yet.
New Master cylinder installed.
Lines To M cylinder.
I removed the old Brake line deverter and removed the plug brake light.
Remove boot and run new wires to the switch of the new M cylinder.
Fine good rout for the lines.
Connect the lines to calipers.
Bleed.
Over all it was pretty easy.
