Title: Savage Hardtail Chopper Progress! Pics

More pics and info to come, I’m just too tired right now – but too excited not to post something. I spent the day down with Dave aka Tanks By Tigman (www.tanksbytigman.com) and he fabricated and welded up the hardtail for my ‘87 Suzuki Savage Chopper Project. Here is a loose mock up. Not sure if I’m keeping that particular oil tank (to hide electronics) – I’m leaning towards replacing it.

We video taped the whole process and it will be going up on my site in a couple weeks. I’ll post a bunch more pictures soon, along with some more build info. I’m super psyched about this project, I couldn’t be happier with how the frame turned out – Dave did an absolutely AMAZING job. If you need some welding work done, make sure to get in touch with him – www.tanksbytigman.com

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Nice looking start! Frame looks very nice. I can see why you would want a different "Oil Tank" If you can find a shape that goes well with the tank, that would help, I think,

Nice project. Are the dimensions such that you keep the beltdrive or are you converting to chain?

Thanks guys, Kropatchek - I'm converting to chain drive so I won't have any issue with the belt and the longer frame.
