Title: Re: ls 650 savage LilīBob Post by 07S40rider on 09/12/08 at 08:09:41 Looks good indeed. Well done. I personally can't get into the ape hangers but if they work for you that is excellent. The paint job looks very nice. |

Title: Re: ls 650 savage LilīBob Post by chopperman84 on 09/12/08 at 16:08:53 thanks for the comments you can view entire process here, sorry but i donīt have much time to put it here... so i left here the link for a portuguese forum if you want to know anything feel free to contact http://forum.motonline.pt/forum_posts.asp?TID=31209 before i paint the rear shocks, i have to remove the all the crome and put a normal metal paint base then i paint the rear shocks with the normal hi resistance paint without gloss you can find in a car paint shop, donīt paint it with poliuretane paint finish(i paint the frame, gas tank, and rear fender with it) because the paint will crack rear fender is a stock flat fender that i buy in motorcycle custom shop, but it was to big... we cut and adjust it to fit in rear wheel sorry my english, isnīt very good in technical terms, but feel free to ask, iīll do my best to answer :) |

Title: Re: ls 650 savage LilīBob Post by rigidchop on 09/12/08 at 17:06:52 the only modification that i see to the frame is, the frame rails are cut off, where they went over the stock fender. correct? for some reason it looks alot lower. i wish more people with customs would post here. there are lots of cool bikes being built, and were not getting to see them. thanks for posting. |

Title: Re: ls 650 savage LilīBob Post by chopperman84 on 09/12/08 at 17:21:52 we cut the frame rails to close the angle of rear shocks, the rear shock at top donīt stand in original position, we put it a litle more to front ...when you close the angle of rear shock you can low the rear 5/6 cm or even more, but you have to restrain the rear shocks action (in my case their work only 3cm) because if you had it to loose the fender hit the frame and you have problems we take off the air filter and put a conic K&N filter and we use the air filter box to put inside the all the wirings and electrical stuff, if you look carefully you have noticed that...i dont have controls in ape hanger...i had controls on right side panel... http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/770/comandosvw1.jpg i donīt know if you understand what i mean :) thanks best regards Mario |

Title: Re: ls 650 savage LilīBob Post by rigidchop on 09/12/08 at 18:32:15 actually it makes perfect sense. your english is pretty good, thanks for replying. i guess i'm going to have to get off my butt and start modifying mine, like i have been planning on all along. thanks for the inspiration. |

Title: Re: ls 650 savage LilīBob Post by dropoutjohn on 09/13/08 at 09:54:48 cool. i always thought the bike would ride nice with the shocks moved like yours so they don't go straight up your ass on the bumbs. ;D i also think it makes your seat mod "flow" better. muchos gracias for sharing and keep us posted as things change with you bike. |

Title: Re: ls 650 savage LilīBob Post by SavageGreaseMonkey13 on 09/15/08 at 17:27:59 what i mean is which k&n filter did you use? i would like to see a pic of it and if you know the measurements of it. usually all of their filters have a part number on the box and knowing that number would make it easier to find one or order one. |
