There's some nice parts on that bike.  Looks like a cable operated rear brake.  I'm really surprised they chose the stock rotors in front with those calipers. 
Just call me Timmaaaaay!!!

Very interesting build. Would really like to see the builders build sheet. This beast looks much like the mysterious CR500. Frame looks to be designed to be similar to the Honda GP bikes of the 60's
