Title: tire for bobber?
Post by zipidachimp on 02/24/08 at 01:50:53

anyone know what is the fattest front tire this bike will take? I'd like fat rubber at both ends of my bobber. :P

Swap out the front end for one off of a VZ800 Marauder ... that'd give you beefier front forks AND tire! 8-)

hey demin what type of tank is that on your bike? Did you have to cut the frame to make it fit? I really want to put a peanut style tank on my savage but it dose not seem like any would fit without cutting the frame.

The only thing I cut were the studs sticking out to mount the original tank,but I wanted the sportster tank to go over the frame a little.I went to the hardware store,and bought a connector nut(it's a nut about 2" long) welded it on for the front mount.Chopped the rear mount off the old original and welded it to the new tank.
