Looks good, and the picture itself is well done by selecting that location and lighting, too.

Thanks, Its because of the good quality of the picture, as you mentioned, that ive posted them, I think they turned out lucky 8)

But Ill not turn out at those first time parents that show 100000 crappy pictures of their newborn child..... I think ;D

I've never had a 'bike that was standard for more than a couple of weeks. The first thing I did on my first 'bike was raise the needle in the carb one click, like the half spacer trick on the Savage.

Real sweet, keep taking pics as you modify your baby, there's nothing like looking back at a different exhaust or set of mirrors and remembering all the fun. ;D

I imagine everyone looks at the photos of the day they got their Savage, and compare them to what they look like now. I've tweaked the seat, pulled the backrest, put on a forkbag and shield, and that's about it.

Okay, I'll play with that idea. My first digital camera was really cheap, so I'll just use the Suzuki image as "in the beginning"....

Of course, at the moment my fender rails are off, and new turn signals are on the way. So this is "yesterday's" picture.

In a similar vein, using Pbrush and Irfanview:
My projected finished product (for this summer):
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gitarzan/BikePix/20050318/projection.jpg
1. Paint the Chrome Battery Box black. I don't like having a chrome box under my seat. It distracts from the big single cylinger. It's visually noisy, IMHO.

2. Same thing for the chrome caps on the swingarm joint. It brings attention to the pivot point.

3. Move front turnsignals up to common centers with headlight if possible due to clearance. Replace amber lenses with clear. Give it a unified one piece, light bar look.

4. Remove decal. I might overspray or use a flame decal for this year.
