Hi everyone,
Sorry I can't remember if I've posted here before, but I've had my Savage for almost a year now, and finally after being inspired by my friends chopped Honda Steed, I decided to chop the Savage.

I'm not finished yet, but its starting to take shape now.

Looks good so far!
What rear fender is that?

Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure. I bought it at a used bike parts store for about $5. Its made from fiberglass and it was a regular full fender untill I trimmed half of it off.

one thing you will need to do is work on the struts, i went through several before i came up with what i liked. it looks like you mounted them to the swing arm... try hiding them behind the shocks.

I bought it from the same used shop I bought the fender and handle bars. It was in the HD section so I asume thats what it came off of. It sounds pretty good too, loud and deep.

Since these pictures I finished painting the fender and stays, made a side mount for the license plate, and I'm still deciding what to do about the brake light and winkers. Maybe later I would also like to change the tank.
