That is some fine craftsmanship there.

I have limited knowledge of revolver triggers, but, does that one look like a "hair trigger" ? (notice how far it sits back in the guard)

Many bikers in this area use holsters or scabbards on their bikes or trikes or quads. Pretty common sight in these parts.

Awesome craftsmanship in that particular one too.

I have to shoot left-handed on the bike, so I can still control the throttle.

( I'm ambidextrous, though I favor my right hand most of the time. )

That's a nice rig, but I'd want mine on the port side.

The saddle's nice. I'd like to see the whole bike. It looks like there's faux bullet holes on the rear fender pan.

No, they're painted onto the rear fender. It must be part of the bike's theme. That is why I'd like to see the whole bike.

I think those are mounting holes for some other accessory that mounted on the rear finder. Like a luggage rack.

On most of the larger bikes they have a friction screw for the throttle cable so you do not have to hold on to it during long trip. Like a cruse control for bikes.

I would sure like to see the whole bike though..

Someone likes doing the lace work like me... Most of the Leather crafters I know hate doing lace work because it take too long to do. And they do not like dealing with punching all the holes, and getting every thing to align up. A lot easier to use a sewing machine.

The pipes are wrapped in some kind of material too. I can see where some of it is discolored by the exhaust heat.

It's hard to see how
any leather or material could
survive on the pipes that close to the engine?
The bike is nicely "chromed" out, bullet holes and all.
I tried searching for another picture of it, but to no avail. It is a "modern day" replacement for a horse !

I think that is leather on the pipes. It also looks like it has discolored from the heat. There may be some insulation between the pipes and leather or maybe guard to protect the leg there. In any case when you get to 400F it's hard on the leather. I forgot what my branding iron temp is set at, 600F?
