Title: My bike used to be ugly Post by SugarBoogers on 07/10/16 at 09:15:50 I used to think the Savages were g-d fugly. Found some good roads, nobody in front of, or behind me. Now that I've had some good rides on it, it's visual foibles don't bother me at all. |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by Ruttly on 07/10/16 at 12:39:50 Boogers, It's still Freakin ugly,but you like most here have found its a cool little bike that can be molded into want you want. I built a RYCA out of mine and now I'm looking for another. Beware you might be hooked. Welcome ! |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by SugarBoogers on 07/10/16 at 13:01:35 It still has way too much rake though. If I decide to keep it, it's going to get frame surgery to correct it. |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by KennyG on 07/10/16 at 13:54:27 Boogers, I agree with you on the rake. I don't know how anyone could make a cafe racer with the rake the Savage/S40 frame has. While you are doing surgery on the frame consider changing the backbone so you can fit a proper gas tank.

It doesn't hold enough fuel....and it has a speedometer and indicator lights where they can't be seen when you wear a full coverage helmet. |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by Serowbot on 07/10/16 at 15:48:40 Getting a Dyna muff,... and getting rid of the chrome head covers and belt-guard takes away 90% of the ugly... There's a lot worse... That Yamaha Bolt is insanely ugly to me... (those pipes belong on a tractor)(air filter, too)... front brake looks like a doily...:-/ http://https://s16-us2.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http:%2F%2Fcdn1.vnexttech.com%2Funits%2Fimages%2Fmd%2F2015-yamaha-bolt-3.jpg&sp=e3f8df4a1cb73b45da3bffb787efd7a8 |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by jcstokes on 07/10/16 at 17:09:07 Oh dear, ugly must be in the eye of the beholder, I've never had issues with the bikes appearance in stock form. If I ever get another bike, I will be seriously considering the standard Bolt in white. |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by Ruttly on 07/10/16 at 17:45:43 Ok freakin ugly might be stepping on a few nerves,maybe I'm not so fond of a stocker with the buckhorn bars. Once some of the overweight stuff comes off it starts to appeal to me,I've been eye ballin these bikes for a long time as project bike. I'm a thumper guy from way back and now some years have gotten behind me the electric starter calls to me. Awhile back I saw a for sale ad that said it all-for sale sr500- bad hip causes me to sell my bad hip maker. |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by SugarBoogers on 07/10/16 at 18:27:50 Yeah I've noticed I have to fill it every time I go out. But then I'm guaranteed good for 2 hours anyway. I just ride it for fun and don't have to shave minutes commuting with it. |

Title: Re: My bike used to be ugly Post by zipidachimp on 07/10/16 at 23:06:08 Agree, except for the dip seat. Repace it with a flat Bonny-style seat and it is beauty, eh? 8-) |

-------------------------------------- My sentiments, exactly. Except for the seat, I think there's quite a classic cruiser look to my Baby Boulevard. |
