Title: New Pics of My Savage Post by Gary On A Savage on 02/21/09 at 20:35:15 Well, been a while coming, but I've finished painting (again). I'm happy with the results, and so's my wife. She's even hinting that she may ride with me. So, what do you think? http://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2009%5C02%5C21%5Cbikepics-1579362-full.jpg http://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2009%5C02%5C21%5Cbikepics-1579367-full.jpg http://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2009%5C02%5C21%5Cbikepics-1579368-full.jpg http://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2009%5C02%5C21%5Cbikepics-1579366-full.jpghttp://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2009%5C02%5C21%5Cbikepics-1579365-full.jpg Things left to do:

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by SimonTuffGuy on 02/21/09 at 20:44:28 Pretty nice looking ride! I wondered what a Savage would look like with full blown fenders... and now I know! :) |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by flcruzr on 02/21/09 at 21:05:24 Gary: Your bike looks GREAT! Very cool mod's, great work. |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by diamond jim on 02/21/09 at 21:09:15 I've seen a lot of cable clamps and a few front brake mods but your setup is a new one for me. ;D I don't like most turn signals out there but yours is one of the best I've seen on a Savage. The black shocks are a sweet touch. Very nice job. I can tell that's a lot of work you've done. Gary, your attention to detail is superb. |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by verslagen1 on 02/21/09 at 21:37:26 Nice. like dem bars. Why the color on the rear hub but no where else? I'd turn the exhaust down so it don't fill up with water. |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by strangeling on 02/21/09 at 21:45:28 Sweet ride, good to see something a little different being done. It shows just how versatile this bike really is. Maybe a fishtail style pipe would work well with that style ? |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by Gary On A Savage on 02/21/09 at 22:01:03 Thanks for the comments. To answer a few: 707D75797B7A707E7D79140 wrote:
Yeah. I like my cable clamp as well ;D Attention to detail...me? You should see my brother. Have to admit, it's taken me a full year to get this bike to where it is...and maybe another year to finish it... (I'm so slow...rather be riding) 72617677686563616A35040 wrote:
I like the bars too! Got them from someone off this site with a side car (I want to say drharvey? but don't quote me because I can't find them PMs). Their off a HD Dyna. The rear hub came that way when I bought it. I like it. Need to do something on the spokes and front hub, they look terrible. Very hard to polish them to a shine, unlike the other parts I've polished. Water? What's that? I live in Central Cal. (Oh, it did rain a few days the last 2 months). Yes, I know. Water from the exhaust. I was just looking at that today when I was taking pictures thinking that pipe is turned up to much. I had to replace the Samson pipes on my Honda Shadow (broke near the head--unweldable) and I'm trying to to figure out how I can use the heat shield. It would be to die for if I can do it! |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by Educatedredneck on 02/21/09 at 22:04:18 Very nice - hard bags would look cool on your bike. Corbin makes a batwing fairing that fits a sportster - might fit a Savage. Very nice!!! :) :) |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by Gary On A Savage on 02/21/09 at 22:11:23 I was just thinking.... handlebars are HD, seat is HD, floorboards are HD, turn signals are made for HD, rear light is made for an HD, looking at getting a made for HD headlight, really want HD style bags and faring... OMG! It's becoming a HD! ;D Do you think they'll let me in their club? I've already been asked by 2 guys what year Harley it is? 1930ish? All I have to do is grind down the "Suzuki" name in the engine case.... NAAAHHHH! I'll stay with being a SAVAGE and not a HOG! 8-) |

CORBIN! They want too much cha-ching! I've been looking for used on ebay, but they want too much. But I found this one that Arlen Ness (Bob Dron) makes for around $260 and looks SWEET! http://www.arlenness.com/p-972-bob-dron-fairing-kit.aspx |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by diamond jim on 02/22/09 at 03:37:16 I know your wife likes to ride with you sometimes but a solo springer seat would look killer on your bike. Check with flcruzr about his hard bags. They are the best hard bags/install I've seen on a Savage. |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by serowbot on 02/22/09 at 09:34:53 You live where it never rains, and have the only Savage that doesn't throw water all over your legs when it rains.... Relocating your brake caliper to dangle in mid air, really cleans up the front wheel.... I like the signals too.... I have them as running/brake lights on mine.. nice work,.. |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by bugsville on 02/22/09 at 14:15:34 very, very nice. PLEASE share where you got the fenders, what kind they are, etc. |

Very nice Gary. I love the look. With the FireLizard With all of it's HD parts, I tell people it's a Harluki. Looks of a Harley, heart of a Savage. ;) |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by ero4444 on 02/22/09 at 14:55:38 those floorboards look comfy. I think I'll wait until I lay it down on the original pegs first. |

They are VERY comfy! Trouble has been getting the position right to use the shifter/brake. They are the adjustable ones with the added leg to position them anywhere. But the extra leg moves you further from the shifter so you have to reach in to use it (very awkward). I removed the leg so it's just at the same position as the stock pegs. Works for the shifter but I am still working to get the brake pedal right. Link to the floorboards...currently $65, I paid 85 http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~dyndetail~Z5Z5Z50000135a~Z5Z5Z5CCAWK~P64.95~~~~S2BB03OT1M12982013011a~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z50000123a |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by I once had a mohawk on 02/24/09 at 06:47:13 Very nice look for the savage. I like all of the work you have done. :) |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by abotech on 02/24/09 at 20:10:31 The rear hub has a gold tint because the brake cable froze up at some time and locked the brakes up. Heat buildup. I've seen this before. |

Interesting. Makes sense, something like our pipes. Like to know more about that. Do you think there is damage? Rear brake seems to work fine. |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by MMRanch on 02/24/09 at 21:01:19 HI GARY I love the way those forks shine !!! Is that a lot of elbow grease or crome ? Crank case too. ONE OF A KIND... |

LOTS of elbow grease. ;) (Actually used a 5" orbital mostly) |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by abotech on 02/25/09 at 20:59:09 It's probably ok if the brakes are not sticking now. The clear coat could be removes and polished out. It is a lot of work. |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by PerrydaSavage on 02/26/09 at 00:34:00 Good Job!! Never thought I'd like the full-fendered look on the LS, but your Bike looks super ... well done! |
|
Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by Mortation on 03/05/09 at 06:26:41 Great looking bike! I am thinking about doing mini floor boards for the front and passenger. Gotta find some that will fit first. As for the name over on the GS forum we call em Harzuki's :) |

Title: Re: New Pics of My Savage Post by Starlifter on 03/05/09 at 08:42:15 Beautiful. I love the full fender look...it reminds me of my old 65' Honda Dream. |
