Magnifique!
Sergio, your parts look great ! I assume that the bearings and connecting rod are Yamaha pieces? The center seal looks original too. I am curious about the plastic piece inside the reed valve. I have not seen this before. Would this create a venturi effect, for better atomization, or is it something else?
Sincerely, Gary P.

I admire the time invested in designing and machining the parts. Time well spent.
I hope that you can accept some remarks though:
1. PV covers. From the pictures I think that you copied the original design around the bolt protrusion, which has a radius about 5 mm. That makes the wall thin and cause the protrusion to break. I think that it easy to modify the design and increase the radius to 7-8 mm.
2. Front cylinder carb spacer. You copied again the original design and make the reed side wall very thin (judging again from the picture). If you add about 2-3 mm to the side walls you would allow the use of Banshee or RZ350 (RD350YPVS) reeds. These reeds share the same bolt pattern as RZ500.
I repeat that is a very well executed machine job.
@ Alex: Why don't you machine your own adapter plate for the generator and pick up coils and use an adjustable DC-CDI?
Several bikes of the early middle 90s had minimalistic generators and several aftermarket DC-CDI units are available now.
