Very nice job.
Your supervintage rules would seem to allow better brakes than we are here in NZ - we're limited to period, 2 - pot calipers - and if you've seen the vid I posted of our 1000 racing we surely need better brakes.
When racing an unbraced frame - even at entry level - I'd really recommend a steering damper for peace of mind.
Bars - depends on taste and what the tracks are like you will race on, but I don't think I'd like to race a 1000 on clipons. I'm not small but the extra leverage of higher bars is very reassuring over bumps.
Starter - on a couple of bikes I've built I've left the starter in place - with only the boss from the alternator rotor left to carry the starter clutch, and a narrowed cover. Use a separate battery and jumper leads to fire the bike and you're away - and the extra couple of Kg is really nothing.
You've got plenty of fun and development to look forward to - enjoy yourself and stay upright.
