Title: Pic's of new add-on's Post by flcruzr on 08/06/08 at 17:48:48 I know the following add-on's are nothing new or special but i'm proud of my bike and wanted to showcase it with it's new sissy bar, luggage rack, (non-functional) engine guard and windshield. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/flcruzr/DSC00419.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm61/flcruzr/DSC00411.jpg |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by Sandy Koocanusa on 08/06/08 at 17:54:09 Why is the rack non-functional? Can't figure out where to put the batteries? I'll be interested in your take on that windshield. I can't remember if you are a tall guy, but I'm in the market for a success story on positioning those small shields so they don't baffle one's eardrums. Mine is about one headache from landing in the ditch somewhere. Bike is looking really sharp! Kay has her eye on an '06 that is that color, I think. I'll have to get her in here to ogle yours and see what she thinks. |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by SimonTuffGuy on 08/06/08 at 18:03:44 My windshield and 07 sissybar will be here tomorrow via UPS. :) Looks great though, I can't wait to get them both mounted. Sandy - pretty sure he meant the non-functional engine guard, not the rack. |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by shadowman on 08/07/08 at 04:36:48 That paint job!! Details, please. I'm assembling a set of tin and that would be a great color choice. |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by flcruzr on 08/07/08 at 10:03:11 WoW! Thanks guy's for ALL of your positive feedback! Sandy: i'm 5'11 and so far the windshield works well, its not great coverage but much better than none at all. I've been up to 75mph with it and it protects pretty well. It pushed the wind right to the top of my helmet. Would be nice if it was a bit wider. The paint color (metalic grey) is stock from Suzuki, not sure what the color code is but it looks nice when the sun shines on it. TMack: The sticker I got from a local auto sign shop, they had it on their computer software so I had it printed up in metallic blue vinyl. My wife is complaining that i'm spending too much time with my bike, I wipe the bike down after every use so I find myself out in the driveway caressing the bike too much. ;) lol Thanks again! |

Wink lol" That seems to be a common theme. My girlfriend says she "looses" me every sunday, 'cause I start tinkering on ol' thumper..... I simply respond, "Just wait 'till football starts up again!" ;D |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by nhgader on 08/07/08 at 19:15:27 Your bike looks great. Mine is a silver '08. I added the same Suzuki windshield this summer to my S40 and really like it. It cuts down on the wind enough to make my ride more comfortable but not so much that I forget I am out in the open air. Kim |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by Dj12midnit on 08/07/08 at 19:15:33 The way I see it, if you have not gotten the you love your bike more then me talking to. Then you should just sell the bike. As for the color the paint folks over at Suzuki must have a mixed up bunch of crayons. They call that color silver. I took my box of crayons out there (now mind you my box only has eight colors in it) and it was blue. |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by SimonTuffGuy on 08/08/08 at 08:03:52 So you really like the windshield? I mounted mine yesterday and went around for a cruise to see how it was. I'm up in the air on mine yet. I drove a 200 mile trip with about 1/2 of it being highway riding at 70-75 and didn't feel fatigued by the air. It's not a long, long ride... But you would think long enough. I guess I'll just have to ride around with it for a few days to get the feel for it and go from there. |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by prsavage on 08/08/08 at 09:00:33 does anyone know if a suzuki C50 windsheild fits the Savage? Maybe even the C50 throw over saddlebags and possibly the C90 billet mirrors? Would be nice to know which Suzuki accessories from any bike fit the Savage actually. What other ones has anyone done? |

I'm pretty much satisfied with the oem windshield. I know there are better, bigger and wider shields out there but I just wanted one that would help stop the blast of oncoming wind a bit and I like the looks of the shield too. So for me, it will do for now. |

Title: Re: Pic's of new add-on's Post by blacksheep23 on 08/10/08 at 21:12:07 How much do you buy the engine guard for? Are you gonna put foot pegs on it so u can cruise on the highway? |

I bought them from Oneida Suzuki and they were $89.99 Foot pegs will be the next add on and driving lights for extra visibility. |

I get picked on quite a bit about caressing my girl too. ;D Nice additions, very clean pretty bike. I have been thinking of the same size wind screen myself. Wonder if it would fit an 86?? Where did you get them again? |

I got all my accessories from Oneida Suzuki, they were very good to deal with and I recommend them highly and I found they had the overall best prices on the net. Thanks for the compliment "pretty bike" :P Must be a female thing to call a nice looking bike "pretty", my wife calls it "cute", "pretty", I try to explain that a guys bike is not supposed to be "pretty", its suppose to be COOL or Bad A**! Anything but "pretty"! LOL ;D |
