Wow Raven - nice job of saddle butchery. How do those screws (?) work? Seems like that would take a little away from the back side of your saddle. Seriously, I want to know. I have a B-17 that I think will pull away from the rivets, so am curious as to how it works to put in those brass screws that appear, from the photo anyway, to protrude fairly substantially above the saddle surface. Do you mainly ride the nose? Or do you have a cast iron fanny?
