Title: Seriously Post by DieselBob on 06/20/19 at 09:24:07 - Be careful out there everyone. http://https://sun6-2.userapi.com/c543103/v543103258/49744/oqlJ4jbTpIg.jpg |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by hotrod on 06/20/19 at 09:41:13 I rode with crutches for a while and had to time the traffic lights so as not to stop. I'm smarter now. ;D |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by ohiomoto on 06/20/19 at 10:16:10 Be careful of what? :-? :-? There's no reason that guy can't ride a bike. People find ways to adapt . |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by Dave on 06/20/19 at 11:12:22 That bike sure looks like it could be a Savage. What other bike has a big fat belt on the left side? :-? |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by ohiomoto on 06/20/19 at 12:04:36 Not sure but the pulley looks a bit smaller than ours. http://https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/37/99/8f379958d8c7e270562573cb0c538ca6.jpg |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by jcstokes on 06/20/19 at 12:15:05 Some years ago I saw a rider with one arm and one leg racing, he had survived a massive crash with a truck. He didn't win any race, but you have to admire his courage. The man was Australian. |

Harleys, except for Sportsters, which have the belt on the right. I'd be more concerned about that rear tire than the guy's wooden leg. :-X |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by MMRanch on 06/20/19 at 18:41:03 I like the looks of that rear tire. :) Looks like it might last a nice long time with that kinda profile ;) |

Harley belts are only 2/3rd the width of the Savage - the Kawasaki 500 Vulcan and KZ750 are the only other bikes that use the same width belt as the Savage. |

I think that one already has ! Guy is definitely not just some weekend warrior though, that's for sure. |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by zipidachimp on 06/20/19 at 20:50:37 I owned that Vulcan........chain! That's the bike that proved to me I wasn't a cruiser guy, and why I believe the S40 is a 'standard', not a cruiser. cheers! 8-) |

Not sure what years had the belts and what years had chains. The 25 tooth front pulley that I machine to fit the Savage comes from the EN454/Vulcan 500 model(s). https://www.ebay.com/itm/94-Kawasaki-EN500-EN-500-Vulcan-front-pulley-sprocket/273144507214?hash=item3f98ae6b4e:g:FW4AAOSwptNaxmXT |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by zipidachimp on 06/21/19 at 04:10:00 mine was '09. earlier ones also had cast wheels, mine had spokes. 8-) |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by batman on 06/24/19 at 15:15:39 I think it's a savage , It's hard tailed , and dark sided, and bobbed. |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by DieselBob on 06/24/19 at 18:30:31 - But if it's a Savage, it's sporting a springer. Aren't those the spring caps peeking over the pack? And wouldn't it need a footboard, at least on the left. Kinda hard to balance a peg leg on a foot peg. |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by batman on 06/24/19 at 21:40:35 Dieselbob , I Think your right , the kickstand looks more like one from an HD as well. and there doesn't seam to be a backing plate on the rear pulley, (HD?) |
Title: Re: Seriously Post by Ed L. on 06/25/19 at 09:37:36 Eight ball on the kick stand :) |
