I'm more interested in what more modern bike the rotors came from that they just bolted up and were the correct diameter....
Yeah thats what i was thinking.

You might want to check out Ducati rotors. I'm unsure about the diameters, but I believe they have the same bolt pattern as the SOHC 750. RR

I think its a duc or VFR...rotor. I think if the rotor is bigger..he may have used 750 legs (higher mount pattern) and 500 calipers and hangers (may give more clearance).
The brake tee, i used that around 77, but I got tired of looking at the line bulging upward after the tee.. And the unbalanced look.. Found a solution. Drill stem nut..run straight fitting out of mc through nut and thru stem.. Then a tee.. Use -3 it looks cleaner..now it gets expensive..use two forged 45 degree ends, coming off the tee,then gracefully arc the lines to calipers behind the legs...like so....

Yep, and very clean approach! I wonder how he attached the nylon wire tie to the "T" fitting? RR

He used x2 zip ties. Larger one around the whole thing (leg & 'T'), then a smaller one between, to pinch. I've been doing that for years. Works great as a vibration dampener, or to seperate two lines.

EBC use to make a rotor similar to those for the SOHC's.

Retro the exhaust man is Pipemaster, Peter his name . There is a u tube clip on his exhaust by a bloke who runs a website for the 1100 bikes, cost around $1,800.

Fair dinkum, awesome sound.

1953 Benly J series. A whopping 3.8 horsepower.

Lovely to see this bike on the road, instead of on a shelf.

Rickman used whatever customer wanted although complete rolling chassis may have been 'spec'?
Haven't even seen a picture of 8 leading shoe brake for 30+yrs
