Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by steely on 04/08/08 at 19:52:27 To date: $1200 for a stock '99 (well almost stock, it has a MAC muffler on it) $50 for two new turn signals $50 (as best as I can remember) for risers and drag bars $120 for pegs and rubber (tires were old, I broke three of them) $160 for new tires $80 for new brake pads front and rear (2 sets front, 1 set rear, caliper was sticking) $160 for a stock cam chain and tensioner from the dealership $105 for a complete Vesrah gasket kit (in case I needed it) $80 ? (I don't recall what they cost per each, help me out here) for two of the new and improved can chains when I need them sooooooooo... grand total Roughly 2,000 for the reliable, fun bike I ride almost every day. Not bad, considering that most of the riders I know didn't even purchase their bikes for less than $5K. I am working on the bobber modifications right now. By the time I get done with them, I will maybe have another $500 in (I am going cheap, I like the rat-style bikes). Not bad for a custom ride I did myself. I am planning on a trailer fender, custom made license plate bracket, old-skool taillight, smaller turn signals, either a larger headlight or duals, a sissy bar (which doubles as fender struts), rejet, new pod filter from Lancer, grease trap mod on said filter, and a spring-mounted seat. I forgot the new caliper seals and the brake cleaner to clean out the caliper. Toss in another $10. I'm still golden! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] This does not include the new helmet I had to purchase when I decided to see how fast i could do figure-8's in the church parking lot up the street. Or the doctor visit to tell me I had a bad ankle sprain. Or the antiseptic to clean out the rash on my hand. Why yes, I had had too many beers, why do you ask? |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Max_Morley on 04/08/08 at 20:30:53 Paid $3500. for my used 96 (in 98) and figure I have another 1500 in all mods. and repairs. I didn't know you were supposed to keep track as it is always cheaper than a mental health professional and alot more fun. Max |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Gary On A Savage on 04/08/08 at 21:02:31 Bike was $1600 and another $750 in improvements and goodies. That's $2350 and still a real cheap, very custom bike. Still wanting to add another $500 in goodies and improvements. SWEET! |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by verslagen1 on 04/08/08 at 21:26:47 $1300 for a '96 with 16k miles $170 for a supertrapp $90 for a tkat $35 for a HD seat $25 for Handlebars $25 for mirrors $15? for risers $15 for gaiters $1745 total $400 on ATGATT Maintenance items don't count, that's the cost of smiles. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by KwakNut on 04/09/08 at 01:43:27 I bought an 8000 mile bike with engine problems and tatty paint/chrome just to use as a round town workhorse, and the idea was to spend as little as possible to get it running: $500 Initial purchase $225 Lancer's cam and cam chain $70 Gasket set $30 Oil $8 Oil filter $40 Selection of jets $873 to buy the bike, fix it and have it ready to ride - except, I just couldn't stop myself from fiddling, so I spent another: $50 Barrel skim $55 Lancer's cam chain $56 Factory head gasket $140 New factory rocker arms $80 Good used front fender $90 Re-chromed foot controls $120 Re-chromed rear wheel $70 Chrome side panels $22 Used replacement head side covers $70 Replacement handle bars $90 Paints $70 K&N $15 Fork seals $16 Iridium plug $160 New old stock drive belt So, another $1104 totalling $1977 so far - and (I wish I hadn't added this up), still the following to buy (roughly): $100 Chrome plating other component $110 Shortened rear springs $80 Custom mirrors $80 Custom indicators $360 Raask exhaust I'll be doing a few more mods at no cost as well like making forward control hangers, modifying the seat and sissy bar and some other touches. Head has been ported, frame and swingarm painted, lots of alloy polished to mirror finish, overall the bike is going to be a smart looking machine. Another estyimated $730 to go, so it will be about $2700 all-in, but that will be for a fully renovated bike with a sorted motor, shiny chrome, nice paint and a mild custom look. Should have it finished for about mid-May if all goes well (would be sooner but I have other jobs to do when I'm home at the weekend and the wife has other ideas about my priorities!). |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by sjaskow on 04/09/08 at 11:17:33 I paid $4400 for an '06 S40 from the dealership that had never been started in August of last year. In fact, when I took delivery, it had .2 miles on it where they took it to fill it up. I took it to the dealership for it's 600 mile service, at $129, I ain't doing again. I've added a Suzuki OEM windscreen that I paid $80 for from Copperhead. Other than that, I've put 1800+ miles and $96 in gas. :) |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Malcontent on 04/10/08 at 05:53:05 $1800 for an '01 Savage with 8600mi, new carb, new Dunlops. Basically stock except for a Suzuki windshield, on dibs list for forward controls. No plans to add anything else except some sort of bag or trunk. Maybe a luggage rack for said bag, maybe engine guards. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by infrared41 on 04/11/08 at 13:02:01 My '97 cost $1799. It came with saddle bags, windshield, custom made crash bar, and heated grips. The saddles bags are reinforced with stainless steel sides so they don't sag. I bought it from it's original owner. He made the crash bar and stainless steel sides himself. He babied the thing so much it literally looks brand new. Not so much as a smudge on it, let alone a scratch. All I have in it is 6 bucks for a tank of gas. :) You can see it here http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q292/infrared41/DSC_0076.jpg I love it. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Rockin_John on 05/01/08 at 13:29:03 Well, since I have three of them at the moment, and I've swapped accessories around between them a bit it is somewhat difficult to itemize... But roughly... I have the most in my first 1987 at maybe $1800 total including tags, tax, title and accessories. The two 99s I have less than $1400 apiece into all inclusive. So I've got maybe $4500-$4600 into the three of them and a bunch of extra exhaust, handlebars, risers, tires and batteries and other misc. accessories. BTW, I'm considering selling the old 87 at a loss. Still under 7k miles!!! Runs great, but needs some appearance TLC. May be some flexibility in what accessories go with: handlebars, risers and seat etc... I let go with it. I'm thinking in the $1400-$1600 range if anyone is interested. I'm in Tulsa, and my email on this site is for real. |
|
Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Duane on 05/01/08 at 13:43:15 About a total of 3K so far. Most of that was in the original purchase. I bought it from a overpriced dealership. I couldn't resist it though, fell in love the first ride. |
|
Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Jerry Eichenberger on 05/01/08 at 14:40:41 $3150 for my '06 with 2126 miles at time of purchase. That included the seller's delivering it to me (130 miles each way by truck). Bike came with: OEM windshield OEM saddle bags OEM backrest Sportster muffler Fresh oil change (synthetic) and minor tune-up for this season's riding. Add about $216 for Ohio sales tax, and $24 for title transfer fees. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Charlie on 05/01/08 at 20:44:04 Lets see... $2300 for my 99 with 7500 miles, a little high but the best price I could find in my area, two weeks ago. $8 to replace the bent shift rod thats it so far, + reg and tax crap, give me a few weeks and I'll start runnin' it up more. :P |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by NikoruWiriamu on 05/04/08 at 10:50:26 Great..and I can't remember crap..let me try...: 2001 On Ebay: $1837 + $50ish in gas for the ride to pick it up. 26k miles on it. Came with problems and issues, a windshield, a ding and a few scratches, and after market exhaust that was broken (Supertrapp). :( Since I've had it:
Items I intend on purchasing next week:
Maybe more to come! |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by evilolive on 05/13/08 at 06:59:30 I paid $3750 for an "07 with 285 miles on it. Included OEM wind screen, engine guard, saddle bag mounts, and top of the line bags. I have been cruising your recommendations for parts such as highway pegs before spending unwisely. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Mortation on 04/09/09 at 09:04:33 1988 LS650P w/ 15k miles. KBB Value $1535 (NADA like $950ish, they are nuts). $800 Bike cost (Not counting $50 to get it) $25 (Plug, gasket, O-Ring) $25 (Oil, plug, filter) $65 (Header, Directional) $22 Jet kit $305 Tires $28.00 Side Covers $28.89 Pegs $10.00 End Caps $6.93 Swing Arm Plugs $51.43 Fork/Dust Seals & Clip Total Damage: $1367.25 Self imposed investment cap: $1500 Money Left to play with: $132.95 left This does not include gear like saddle bags, new helmet, etc as that stuff is not really part of the bike ($215ish). Does not include $140ish to register it or insurance. I may be paying the stealership to do the fork seals due to time constraints and laziness (was a REAL PITA on my last bike). So no matter what when I sell the bike it looks like I will be in the red, the trick is to keep the red as little as possible lol. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by sluggo on 04/09/09 at 13:21:32 i bought thumper new at 4500 stripped it to make it a bobber and acutually sold th old parts at a profit. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by photojoe on 04/09/09 at 19:05:31 Bought my '87 for $1050.00, and the guy threw in a new front wheel, Guardian cover and new HJC 1/2 helmet. Bike came with Brandywine Metal Flake paint, SuperTrapp, Flame mirrors, sissy bar and plug cap leak What I put into it so far: *Chrome Highway Hawk rider pegs-$50.00. *Rear rack, forget how much I paid, think around $60 and well worth it. *Disk 6 pack and open end cap for the Trapp, but sold them at about a $15 loss. Didn't care for the sound. * Saddle bags and supports-$70.00 shipped. * Big Crank. I forget what I paid for it, got it from battery mart. * Bought a dented tank on ebay for $26.00, but sold it to a forum member for the cost of shipping. Lost a couple of bucks, but found a better deal (see below) on a tank with no body work required). * Bought a "like new" tank (Still has safety stickers) from a 2005 for under $50.00 shipped, which will be stripped and painted at some point soon. * Used odds and ends after the fall, spent about $70.00 so far for rear signals, brake lever and new cover. |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by Jay on 04/09/09 at 20:23:19 Well, I'm probably up there the most. I really can't remember , and I'm not going excavating for all the reciepts; but it's something like New '08 S40 with 2 miles: $4800 Forward controls: $150 (I think) Saddlebags: $60 Forkboots: $17 Bugs in teeth, crap eating grin: priceless :) :) |

Title: Re: What you do you have into your Savage/S40 Post by SimonTuffGuy on 04/10/09 at 10:25:18 I'm up there way Jay... My leftover 07 when I bought it in April 08 was $4000 (plus taxes and tags, and the crappy extra fees that get tossed on). Add on the windshield, sissybar set, saddlebags and brackets, and Winglerline highway bars for the big parts... Performance stuff like the diamond jim exhaust, cone filter, rejet are there but cheap... And on the list of things to add on are my LED tail light, new turn signals (for the bigger bags to fit), sideways plate mount, etc. I don't remember the prices for everything... But, most of them were cheaper than what I'd pay at the dealers by finding great deals off EBay, selling OEM parts, etc. |

That's a good question. From what I've read so far in this thread, the S40 doesn't seem to hold its value nearly as well as the Honda Rebel I own. That's a bit scary since there don't seem to be many of these in the Baton Rouge area (where I live). I'd love to find a used one for sale within, say, 250 miles of here. NOTE: I don't have an S40 yet, and I'm not planning to sell my Rebel when I get one. I'm guessing that most owners/members would not recommend buying new because of the price, and with the economy in the doldrums, it's looking like the MSRPs of most things will be going WAY UP. |
