Title: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/26/06 at 18:17:28 I finally got my front end on, It took a little time to do it right but I have to say I could not have done it without the hoghunter, He's done this before and that helped. Istill have to bleed the brakes.I only took a small ride byt I'll ride more tomorrow. Here a few pics I just took,I'll take better ones this weekend. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jrm8486/my_photos |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by SAMM on 01/26/06 at 18:34:32 Way Coool Jrm...What is included in the kit, Longer legs? both triple trees? brake hose? and ?? |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by lancer on 01/26/06 at 18:36:18 Very nice indeed. I really like the lines of the rear fender. |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/26/06 at 18:39:23 Triple trees,brake line and spacers for fender,brake,headlight,axle. new tubes,longer axle. Tubes come with new dampers,springs.You have to use lower tube with kit and they are a pregnant dog to take apart. |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by SAMM on 01/26/06 at 19:00:07 So are the tubes farther apart with the new front end?? It doesnt look like the bike is any taller at center either ? I also would like to know if you notice any dif. in stearing ?? |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/26/06 at 19:03:45 They call it a wide glide type kit so they are a little wider. Haven't ridden far enough to tell a difference.13 degree rake makes height about the same. |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by SAMM on 01/26/06 at 19:06:36 Need more pics !!! ;D |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/26/06 at 19:12:06 I'll take more tomorrow,I still have to put back on my tank pad,chrome wire loom and clean it up a little. I also am waiting on forward controls from seeger,and putting stock turn signals back on after I get the brake light conversion kit. |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by SAMM on 01/26/06 at 19:17:12 Im looking for a nice cheap pair of stock ft pegs if your going to change them ?? |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/26/06 at 19:20:35 I already sold my stock pegs and put on chrome ones. But I'll be taking those off too! |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by Greg_650 on 01/26/06 at 22:36:33 Hey, Man. That's about the cleanest extended/raked forks that I've seen on a Savage. Nice job! |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by mmosel on 01/27/06 at 00:51:48 Not big chopper guy, but your bike looks great! I like the fact that the height is the same. Is this the seeger kit? I look forward to seeing some more pics. Nice job! |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by Kropatchek on 01/27/06 at 01:14:59 Very nice indeed. Ever thought of putting the front blinkers on the handlebar? Greetz Kropatchek ;D |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/27/06 at 18:25:03 Can't put the blinkers on the the bars, then it won't fit into my door to my porch! |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by Savage_Rob on 01/27/06 at 18:45:53 Very nice indeed! Is that the Seeger kit? |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/27/06 at 19:23:26 Yes it is a Seeger Kit, I'm still waiting for the forward controls. |

Turn signals are not required in FLorida. I was going to suggest turn signals that clamped to and hung under the handlebars, like the ones I took off my '74 Enduro-- couldn't find any on the web! |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 01/28/06 at 04:28:56 Trust me you want to have as many lights as you can down here so they might see you! |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by Jim_R on 01/28/06 at 06:05:47 I saw turn signals on the front side (facing the bike's forks)mirrors before. Too bad they cost over 100 and u still have to worry about hiding the wires. |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by klx650sm2002 on 02/25/06 at 02:17:49 Hey jrm, What length are Your forks, top to axle. Mine are 36". Clive W :D |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 02/25/06 at 06:07:52 38" from top to axle. the tubes are 8" over stock and the rake is 13 degree |

Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by Violent_Rage on 02/26/06 at 15:37:51 How difficult is to convert a Savage into a Chopper? |
|
Title: Re: Chopper Kit Done! Post by jrm8486 on 02/26/06 at 17:50:42 Buy the kit and bolt it on, the hardest part was getting the tubes separated.If you decide to do the kit take the tubes to a shop and have them unscrew the bottom tubes with a impact wrench. |
