if you’re gonna just do a single. Go with a Speed Merchant bracket and radial Tokico. Calipers are a dime a dozen and the bracket is probably no more than what a single bagger caliper would run you.

I ended up grinding down the fixed nut on it so it fits inside the hole in the bracket, then used the nut that held the OEM bracket on.
I just reused it. There were 6 full threads exposed which I’ve never had an issue on other ones I’ve had. Now the bracket under the cam cover? That fvcker gave me fits. It’s never hit a single pipe I’ve owned on any bike except this one. Weird manufacturing day at Thunderheader maybe?? I dunno but getting those torx out sucked. I was too lazy to lift the motor either so had to make a tool and it still sucked.

Actually looked at that set up along with the wilwood setup.
Ended up changing pads.... Major improvements over what was there

So, the fixed nut (I don't know how else to describe it) is outside the bracket holding it to the tranny cover? And I had the same issue with that bracket, bought this

and it took about 3 mins.

that’s exactly what I needed.

yeah, it’s Just through my bracket. You could just get an Allen head bolt that matches and use it too if you had to.

Well the Corbin seat, while comfortable as hell was a little too tall/wide for my preference. Traded it for a LePera Daytona Sport basket weave and could not be happier. I love these seats and have tried to find one for numerous Dynas I’ve had with no luck. Now I’m eyeing changing out the air cleaner and risers. Never happy.

Original owner did that and I’ve wrestled with maybe having the script pinstriped back in but at some point if I keep it that long I want to re-do the paint with hot rod flames anyways.

Since you didn't remove the tank decals (I noticed the lack in those first pics), then I vote for adding something back
