Title: A real stunner

I'm frequently impressed, amazed and in awe of the talent on this forum. Thought everyone would appreciate this beauty, too.

It doesn't look anything like the Super 10 I knew. During the very early sixties a friend spent the summer away from home and left the custody of his Harley Super 10 to my buddy and I. We had a blast on that thing. It didn't feel like other small displacement bikes, the front wheel seemed bigger and the handle bars were wider and it felt like a much bigger bike. No rear shocks so it bounced around and handled poorly on the rough back roads but it was fun.

Oh, it's definitely not just a Super 10. He pieced it together, but the pieces are so pretty. Real craftsmanship.

I've always thought one of those late 40's springer style front ends would look good on a Savage.

I used leaf springs to create a "swingarm" on a dirt bike years ago, but using them on the seat is a great idea. Looks clean.
