The saddle was made by redtail leather. The seat bracket was made by Kundratic Kustoms in Baltimore - they now make them for sale on their (badly in need of updating) website. http://www.kundratickustoms.com/

I'm not sure how long I'm going to ride with no front brake. I rode today and while braking is fine, I didn't figure on how much I use the front brake while parking/at idle/etc.. I'm already figuring on next year putting on a front brake.

i was going to ask how you liked the bars and i knew this would be your answer. give it two three days and you'd be used to them, i guarantee it. they are some squirly, gnarly lookin bars though and they totally complete the look you're goin for. tanks looks too big though imo, shoulda got a frisco tank for that sumbitch but overall i think you did a great job with it. paints f-ing killer and i like that uyou kept the swingarm and didnt hardtail it. turned out good dude...

Thanks. Those are galaxy grips, and I think they suck actually. They are hard as rock. Not exactly the look I was after either. They'll be coming off.
