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.

Question for you, when you installed your Thunderheader bracket how did you handle the stud that I have circled in red? When I installed mine, if I left the stud in the case the fixed nut pushed the bracket out and if I tried to put the stud through the bracket it was too short. 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.

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 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it took about 3 mins.
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.

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