Title: My latest creation...
Post by Demin on 08/03/14 at 11:32:58

Is not a Savage.Been working on and off for awhile on this one.'96 Vulcan 800 Classic.Needed a more comfy(for her :P) 2 up ride.

Looks nice Demin, was it mainly the front end that was totaled?

Mostly.Forks were bent.But all over.F & r fenders,bars,bags,1,000 lights...etc
Saved all the body parts except the bags.No great loss there,lol.Reworked the fenders,cutting the bad parts off.

That is a beautiful motorcycle! Well done!

Always thought the VN800 looked way better than the newer VN900s ...

Spray it black, bring it down here, haul both Savages off. If that 800B was to receive an 800A front end conversion, it would be a 1000x better machine. "B"s ride nice but don't handle well, "A"s ride nice and can outcorner a Savage at much higher speeds.

My 98 needs a CCT and about 8 more wires hooked up. My 03 has a Versy modded CCT, runs fine, just needs the valves adjusted. So you'd end up with a runner for her and an almost finished custom to play with. And I woud be back on my preferred metric platform, with the option of going for an "A" or Drifter conversion depending on how motivated I was.

Thanx.
Yeah,I definetly like skinny front tires better.Just built what I had.The V-Star I have is a Classic too with the fat front tire.But I think that wheel is bent.Sooooo that leaves it up for anything ::) .
I really just need to get my Harley done!!! :-/ She's getting close.

Your ability to envision a paint job and execute it is quite the talent. Were you tempted to put a silver front on the front fender?
