Post by devinsavage on 02/18/13 at 09:02:20

I thought I would post a couple of pics. What do you think?

If you ran an air intake plastic pipe up high like the exhaust pipe you could tell folks it is a competition swamp trail bike.    Some clumps of mud stuck up high in odd places would help that story along, too.

Or, you could rig an oil drip into the exhaust system so you could turn on some diesel smoke at will while you revv up the engine.   An Allison or a Cummins sticker on the tank would go along with that trick.

I love them knobbies, how do they do on the sharp street corners when you are all leaned over good?  I bet they do a lot better when you are hill climbing.

You will get lots of looks, with folks asking you what it is for
(so you might as well have some fun with it).

The knobby tires, drilled belt guard, tractor exhaust rain flap, and fuel level tube all make the bike unique.  Not at all a cookie cutter job.

I like unique! ;) 8-)

cool bike! I liked it very much . but I can not quite understand in styles) I think not fully combined wheels with "the big teeth" and exhaust pipe in Swedish style...
and the rest looks very cool! wow! :)

Wow.  8-)

I wouldn't be able to avoid the urge to paint a 1# propane bottle up to look like a nitrous tank and hook up a flamethrower kit...

Tire specs please...

Saved the top pic to my desktop (which is otherwise usually reserved for topless/nude girls on bikes). I really like that...

Thanks for the replies.

The tailight I found on ebay, thought it was awesome and wanted to work it in on this build, It has a old school blue dot and looks like a bomb, so I had to paint a F on it. lol

Good Eyes, yes I have a open carb right now. I haven't decided what to do for a air filter yet. Yesterday was my first ride on it, So I still have some little things to finish up.

I havent takin it hill climbing yet, but I did get in some soft sand when doing my pictures and can throw a pretty good roster tail.

The knobbies do a lot better than I thought they would on the street.

Flame Thrower........ huh. haha.... This bike is crazy noisy

I like it  :D Love the back drop too.
Can you please take some close up pics of where you cut the frame down to mount seat springs.
Watch those nobs on wet roads.
Would love to hear how it sounds with that exhaust, Did you replace the header too?

very individual bike, have never seen anything like that on the street.

Very cool man.

What type of paint did you use on the exhaust heat shield? I like the drilled accents.

Ditch the chrome valve covers for a more grass rootsy look.

Where can you get different ones? Or what can you do to the stock one?

thanks

On my Ryca I just took them off.  One of the bolts they rotate on requires the head to be removed as i recall. I just cut it off and put some silicone on the hole.  Looks a lot like an SR500 motor without them, and they won't detract from the nice lines and paint on your savage.  It's in the Ryca instructional videos on youtube somewhere I believe also.
