Cool pics! I was hoping to put Maltese Cross lights and signals on mine over the winter. Anything I need to do special for the LED's?

From the looks of the seat you must be VERY tall... :)

I'm 5'5" and the standard (japanese size?) seat & pegs setup fits me just fine ;)

Well not really Im only 5'8" but I did have a rather nasty crash 2 years ago and have only limited movment of my left foot so I got used to riding on the back of the factory seat with my leg straight in order to shift and that seat is hard as a brick back there. plus my wife never rides anymore now that Ive crashed so this set up fits me better. also the dash is coming out of the tank and were making it bigger. Im going to a Dakota Digital dash on the bars so I dont have to look down at the tank to see what going on. heres a link to the dash.

And I don't think she wants to go for a ride in the creek... lol (inside Joke) But it did happen.

You can get an electronic flasher that will make the signals work just fine. The sell them at the auto parts store and it has been posted on here somewhere.

I like the look! Does Kuryakyn make an adapter that fits the Savage or did you have to fab something? If they make an adapter, do you recall the part number?

Also, I noticed your Springer seat. Looks like it sits up pretty high and also has you way back on the bike. Did you notice a big change in handling after this mod?

the Kuryakyn pegs I used are #8063 which are 1 1/2inch extentions. when I was looking for mounts I got ones that were the same width as the factory ones BUT after the install found out I could have used something wider. we had to modifiy them some, drill out the mount holes, then on the right hand side we welded a tab on the top inside mount to get them to hang even. as for the ride, my left legs busted up from a crash but the rides basicly the same it just makes the front end lighter ;)
