Leather Braid
I like the long braids I see attached to the front brake lever. I think it would look good hanging from my RKC. Is there some sort of significance or meaning I'm not aware of. I wouldn't want to get myself into some kind of bind....like red tennis shoes or something.

For me, I hung the Captain Itch lever fringe from my bike because it was a sort of walk back in time to my childhood days when I hung baskets on the back of my bike and colorful fringes from the handle bars. That bike was to be a pre curser to my bagger days! Of course, no more colorful plastic streamers but some good sturdy leather!
If considering the lever fringe I highly recommend Captain Itch. Very high quality!!

The braid I think you are talking about is called a "get back whip". Supposedly it is used to hit cars if they get too close to you. My opinion, anyone who attacks a 4,000# automobile while riding an 800# motorcycle is stupid.
Car driver to police, "honest officer, I didn't see the bike. I just heard something hit my car and I swerved in panic. Didn't mean to hit the bike."
If you get one for decorative purposed fine, just don't use it for it's intended purpose.
