Title: savage bobber w/ a cherry bomb
Post by thump on 02/21/08 at 16:15:12

I recently bought this savage and turned it into a bobber. I just repainted and pinstriped it. I also cut the stock exhaust pipe and welded on a cherry bomb onto it and wraped the pipe with pipe wrap.
The bike is super loud now but in a good super loud kinda way w/ a great tone. since I put the cherry bomb and pipe wrap on the bike has ran alot better and also gained lot more power!

I noticed the voltage regulator is moved, sureley required by the bob. I'm planing on moving mine, because I think thats why the battery keeps drying out, overcharging. Most bikes have the reg in some kinda air flow, and not between the seat and fender. I think the reg overheats and losses ability to regulate. No regulating mean overcharging at sustained higher rpm's, hence dry battery. Nice paint scheme, and I also like the grips.

I noticed you took all possible chrome off the bike. Is it because you don't like it, or are cleaning it?

Glasspacks sound amazing on this bike. I experimented with a couple of them when I had my S40; a short one with a large diameter core & a long one with a smaller diameter core. Both sounded like a subwoofer w/800 watts of deep bass booming out! WAY more power than the stock pipe too. The large one boosted top end power, the long thinner one boosted low end & mid-range & was a little quieter. Can't remember what I paid but I think they were under $30 each. Not a bad way to go. Some have about a 7 degree bend on the inlet so it lines up perfectly.

what did you use to hardtail it?

Title: Re: savage bobber w/ a cherry bomb

I have a starter switch that is under the seat. Almost all of the wiring is under the seat which causes a bit of a rats nest. I am now working on making a fake round oil tank to fit under the seat and to hide all of the wiring. I am still trying to figure out the best way to make the fake tank
I bought the bike with alot of the crome already off of the bike. the hard tail mounts were also already on the bike.

can you take some pics of the mounts? thanks

I will put some pic up tonight of the hard tail mounts.
I wish I could take the front brake off but you have to have one
in Alabama.

Aaaaaaaaaa...... drive around a few days not using it. tape something to the lever to remind yourself to not touch it. I think you'll realize that stopping is a good thing ...... so much so that it over-rides "looks".

yea stopping is pretty high up on my list of things I'd like my bike to do well.

i am so used to stopping with the rear only brake on my chop, i always forget about the front one. its kinda grabby anyway.

darn nice looking bob. I am still trying to psych myself up to just go ahead and bob mine or find another one to bob. I love it!

The stock savage is one of the easier bikes to bob i think. The savage already has a very classic look to it.

re: front brake:

I end up riding a lot more carefully w/o one. and I passed the liscense test w/o it...

also, ever ride a bike w/ a front brake lever but no braking action? that S U C K S SUCKS!

What kind of handlebars are those? Were they hard to install?

I bought the bike with the bars on it but I think they are harley drag bars. I have taken them off and put apes on the bike before but I put the low bars back on. they are no problem taking off and putting back on.

Hello from Finland! I´m building a bobber from my Savage. Unfortunately I´m not able to see pictures of this bobber discussed here. Is there a link to them or something!? Any good links or pics of Savage bobbers would be GR8 help with the project! :)

It's not showing up for me either.
