Title: Finished with my first bike build
Post by ChrisTech on 03/16/14 at 16:48:27

After a slow winter at work, I figured I could build a nice bike after looking at others. Want to give a big thanks to David over at voodoo vintage

Just need to paint it now

Looks really clean...

Lol, but i'm not a fan of the straight pipe... looks like I would burn my butt cheek, a 45% down and away at the end would be my pref.... not putting your bike down... it looks great!

If I was going to build a savage bobber (and I hope to some day), it would look just like that. Very nice!

Thanks, ok I'll take a few more pics later today, and ya the pipe does cook my tushy pretty good, I may turn it out soon. I also Need a smaller battery so I can fit my electronics slightly better. I used the wiring diagram from the tech section (simplified/chop wiring) and worked perfectly. I've learned everything I know about these bikes from this site. I think I'll be building a cafe savage next......

Love the look of that buddy....just right!!!

Quick question though, do you have any issues with not having the rear engine mounts connected? I only ask as I'm about to hardtail a savage too, and was keen to lay the rear out like you have, but was concerned I needed to keep the rear part of the main cradle to mount the rear of the engine?

A couple more pics, was extremely sunny today. By the way I would never use the word "tushy" I think I was autocorrected.

ChrisTech:

That thing is beautiful man! :D

You gave a shout out to a guy at voodoo vintage, I was wondering if you went with the "Model 23" weld on kit for the savage or if you used a different/custom hard tail piece by VV? :-?

If at all possible could you post a pic of the neck tube/gusset connection area? I'd like to turn my s40 into a hard tail over this upcoming winter and I'm trying to saturate myself with information. Any advice or heads up on troubles you ran into during would also be greatly appreciated!!! :)

I cant wait to see this bad boy all painted up 8-)
