Title: Savage from Norway Post by Dirt on 01/22/09 at 02:01:53 Hey, i just bought this Savage for a small amount of money. Its an -86, with 17500 miles on the road. Runs good, and in good condition :) But - i dont like how it looks now, so its getting bobbed in the next coming weeks. New rear fender, soloseat, new paint, custom exhaust, etc... And i need a new frontend, preferably an original one. This one got way to much rake in the trees. So if anyone has an original frontend for me for cheap, i would really like to buy it (have shipping adress in New Jersey, USA). Or does anyone know if i can use an frontend of an Harley? I have lots of them.... Engine has a small leak between head and sylinder, but i guess its just a blown gasket? |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by Dirt on 01/22/09 at 04:45:10 I`ve actually been in my garage now and done some changes. Changed the apes to a dragbar, one mirror only, new grips. Reversed the "homemade" pegs extensions, removed the fugly stickers on the tank, and the front fender. Starting to look like another bike already 8-) Looking forward to get another rear fender and seat on it. |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by bluesavage218 on 01/22/09 at 08:13:00 You wouldn't want to sell that front end when you get a new one would you? |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by 88pagan on 01/22/09 at 11:01:54 Have fun with that thing man..keep us updated on your progress. Here's my before and after pix. Picked this thing up for $1000 with the same leak you described. Fixed that and rode it around for a couple months. Then dropped a valve so while rebuilding the motor I took the opportunity to do all this--http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a304/88sandman/bike-1.jpghttp://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a304/88sandman/bobber1.jpg |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by bluesavage218 on 01/22/09 at 14:57:49 My guess would be pretty stinkin expensive haha. But for new rake kits and longer tubes I would have to pay $2,000+ anyway. |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by BurnPgh on 01/22/09 at 18:19:51 If you're willing to look into what shipping would be and if you don't want it I'm feeling that extra tall sissybar. |
|
Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by Dirt on 01/22/09 at 22:18:32 I can check shipping for the frontend - but i would need an original front before i can let it go. I can check shipping for the Sissybar to, i dont need it. Its a cool looking sissy though.. Was experimenting with paint last night. Did a silver base on the tank and sidepanels, and topped it of with purple candy. Not finished yet, need more layers of clearcoat, and maybe some lettering on the tank etc.... I`ll post pics later. |

I dont know the exact weight of the sissy, but it looks like shipping would cost somewhere around $80 to USA. I`ll post a better pic of the sissy to, its very nice., |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by bluesavage218 on 01/23/09 at 12:12:07 Well I just happen to have a stock front end. Maybe we could do a little trade off. Do you know the measurements for the rake and overstock tube lengths on your front end? |

It might be a way to do it. I`ll have to do some measurements though, i dont know exactly how long and what the rake is. |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by bluesavage218 on 01/23/09 at 17:55:38 Well from the way it looks on your bike, it's what I'm looking for. Just let me know if you want to work something out. |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by Dirt on 01/24/09 at 06:38:28 Ok man.. Btw, here is a update on the tank ::) Nothing fancy, just having fun. Pictures doesnt do justice (cellphone cam), and its not finished cleared yet. It looks 10 times better in good light. http://custompartz.no/Bilder/650tank3.jpg |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by Dirt on 01/26/09 at 13:04:13 Trying different fenders. But have to cut of the frame "struts" before final fitting. Also done some more painting, closer to the result now... http://custompartz.no/Bilder/650bakskjerm.jpg http://custompartz.no/Bilder/650deksel2.jpg Need more layers of clearcoat though... |

Title: Re: Savage from Norway Post by Dirt on 01/28/09 at 13:14:13 Waiting for a new fender, soloseat and pad now. So bored to death.. i cut off the ugly struts: http://www.custompartz.no/Bilder/650cutoff.jpg Next thing will be the exhaust. Dont think i will go for anything complicated. Its just a number 3 bike for fun... But i think i`ve got some cocktailshakers and various other mufflers from Harleys and Triumphs. Another "in progress" pic http://custompartz.no/Bilder/650bygg.jpg |
