Title: 86 Rebuild Post by woodworker on 02/25/05 at 15:29:17 Hello All; This is my first post on this forum and I thought there might be some out there who would be interested in this rebuild. I purchased the bike new in July 1986, since then, the wife and I have put 30,000 miles on it travelling the country sides in the U.S. and Canada (slowed down the last 4 years, as the wife has had knee problems- must be getting old!) I knew near the end of last summer that the top end had to be rebuilt so I decided to do a number on it. The following link (if it works) is a condensed description of the rebuild. http://members.shaw.ca/kenerechook/savage.htm |

Title: Re: 86 Rebuild Post by PerrydaSavage on 02/26/05 at 02:41:30 8)Very nice job on the re-build man ... roughly how much did it cost you (if you don't mind me askin')? Love the seat! Wouldn't mind re-doing mine in brown leather ... I think it would look great with the teal green paint! |

The steel is the original height, I just extended the plastic in the seat with aluminum and re-upholstered. Thanks for the info on the tags, I'll know better nest time. |

I would estimate total cost for parts and machining to be approximately $2,400 Canadian. As for the seat, when I recovered it I just used dark blue naugahyde and painted it with "Duplicolor's" vinyl and fabric paint which adheres and wears quite well. |

Title: Re: 86 Rebuild Post by Greg_650 on 03/16/05 at 05:24:18 I love the seats. The tan color goes nicely with the blue. I hope that you have better luck with the Barnett clutch springs, than I did. They were "out of stock" when I ordered them, and I waited and waited and finally gave up. |
