Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by verslagen1 on 09/28/14 at 21:46:51 looks like someones gonna get a hot foot. nice blower, but it doesn't look like it's hooked up. |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/29/14 at 02:39:07 I can't see a foot peg. I'd like to see a dyno run. The sprocket/brake disk is cool,BUT,what do they cost? Ohh,no one cares. It's not a daily rider. |

I have always wondered about the sprocket/disc brake thingy. How do you keep the chain oiled.....but not the brake disc? The chain even goes right through the brake caliper! |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by ToesNose on 09/29/14 at 04:10:45 The foot peg is on the rear axle.......terribly uncomfortable looking seating position :-/ |

I'd imagine riding that thing is interesting... NOt to mention that seat. :o |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by LANCER on 09/29/14 at 04:50:41 There are no controls; throttle, clutch or brake |
|
Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by Demin on 09/29/14 at 05:13:14 Looks like maybe an internal twist throttle.Like Exile uses. The clutch and shifter are together on the left side. |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by Demin on 09/29/14 at 05:17:40 I did this one a couple years ago.You can't "oil" the chain.Have to use chain wax. http://p1.bikepics.com/2013/04/24/bikepics-2546102-800.jpg |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by runwyrlph on 09/29/14 at 06:33:59 I think that bike pedal is the brake?? No way it's a foot peg about 9 inches under your butt noo, maybe the brake goes just under the pedal - looks like the pedal can't move??? I'm gonna find the website and look for more pics |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by runwyrlph on 09/29/14 at 06:49:42 I guess that is the footpeg... So that means the peg on the rear axle is for your passenger :D Looks pretty cool, but not too comfortable! |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by Ed L. on 09/29/14 at 07:27:04 Looks lke it only has about one inch of travel on the front forks and can't see any front brakes either. |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by nickthe_human on 09/29/14 at 10:54:16 yea, im guessing this is just a show bike |

Title: Re: crazy custom savage Post by Dave on 09/29/14 at 11:53:50 Well I studied it a little bit.....and found this...which is hard to decipher: http://www.1000ps.at/modellnews-2358121-suzuki-ls-650-savage However the blower is not a blower....it is a Geitrebe 4 gang....which is a 4 speed transmission. This fellow is bypassing the stock transmission and using a Harley Belt Drive and clutch, and has a non-unit transmission sitting on top of the engine. The gear shift lever goes to the transmission, and it has a bicycle hand lever to operate the clutch. The only brake is the rear one, and somehow the master cylinder is hooked up to a foot pedal...your guess is as good as mine at this point....those spools on the rear axle are either to be sliders.....or for his rear axle bike lift. The front and rear have very limited suspension travel - and most likely no damping. I can't blow up this picture well enough to see what is happening - but the master cylinder is doing something around the rear pedal. |

Yeah....I'm betcha' you can accelerate faster, corner harder, stop quicker, and ride longer than this fellow can. And you can throw something lovely on behind you! ;D |
