No, haven't had a front brake for a couple of years now, even before I got the spool wheel. I don't miss it.
Built the whole bike myself, been through more changes than I can remember. Currently pulled down getting a new horseshoe oil tank, narrow frisco gas tank, taillight, different riser/bar combo and still tossing up whether to keep the sissy bar or not, possibly some more frame modifications.
Everything I've done to this bike has been to make it skinnier, I live close to the city so lane splitting is absolutely necessary in peak hour. Think my bars are around 15" wide.

Pipes are custom made, rear rim is a fat spoke 18 inch and was originally attached to a Dyna front hub. Had to use oversized nipples but seems to be holding up ok. Front wheel is 19 inch off an 03 Dyna.

Cheers mate, on the want list is an XR type front end (join the queue) with high end brakes front and rear and probably a custom oil tank. It’s hard sinking more cash into the bike....considering it’s resale value is always going to be well under 10 K’s.

Hubs are stock 03 Dyna but the rear had to be machined to accomodate the 1 inch rear axle. Bars are Flanders swept back.
Cheers mate.

Not still running that headlight, was a tiny little thing that looked like a downlight that I got with that front end.

Got 2,190km up on new motor still runing in, have rev limit set 4,500, still got stock clutch with spring plate, when I ride it up to fine tune, will see about clutch upgrade. but don't want heavy pull hate that. she pull's from 2,000 and when you take her to 4,000 ( not wide open ) you have to hang on. has firm ride handles good. still stock brakes they work ok for me.
