Are you a Bike Karma podcast listener? Because I read that comment in a Sean Connery accent :-)

Anyway, here's a shot the PO sent me.
Ahhh perfection... there ya go. Brown leather saddle and brown "R" grips. It really looks good here. I was searching for a pair of R grips for my scorcher, but the only ones I can find now are on eBay from China. No US sellers at the moment.
