Extremely nice, My kinda Scrambler! Definitely brings back great memories of my '59 BSA Spitfire Scrambler!

Lovely bike, I have seen and enjoyed that video before.

Not sure that front brake arm is at the correct angle though, ideally it would be at 90° to the cable when ther brake is fully on. Easy enough to rotate it on the brake cam spline, though you might have to shorten the outer cable a little.
