Nah, I do it manually.  Save your pictures to my computer with the pictures.  I tweak the pictures if I wish, make the thumbs, and save back to the site.  Then I edit the .html file to add the text and pictures.

Yeah, it's more work.  On the other hand, I can have *anything* done to the site.  I can personally make each page at the local city level.  I like to be flexible.  I need minions to do the easy work.

This was mine at it's peak of looking cool.  That seat didn't last long.  It was a real butt numbing experience.  I sold it long ago, but do miss it.

I kept getting bigger bikes but they were not as fun.  Due to health reasons I got rid of them all, but still got a serious hankering to ride again.

Post by WD on 05/10/11 at 20:22:35

Paladin, you need to update mine. I'm back in TN and the bike is still changing...

http://ravenscroftart.net/watchtower/2010rebuild01.jpg

With Intruder rear shocks. Notice the swingarm angle. Handles like a dirt bike...
http://ravenscroftart.net/watchtower/LiftedSavage.jpg

HD rear fender, one of a kind exhaust, HD 2 stroke dirt tracker tank or late KR model tank (forget which). Fork gaiters, Bates/Lucas sidemount headlight, recovered stock seat pan. 15" Apehangers. Bags spaced via mahogany 2x3s.
http://ravenscroftart.net/watchtower/pokeydone1.jpg

Rear shot before bag spacers made. Stock fender is long gone, white fender is in my shed. Mirrors have been relocated now. Two toning currently back underway, winter was not conducive to painting.
http://ravenscroftart.net/watchtower/pokeydone2.jpg

I need to get back to painting and modding the wiring. Little Sturgis MS rally is going to catch me short otherwise. Backup bike is kaput for the time being.  :'(

Bill, that's a bunch of grandkids.  I assume that's your son?  Looks like you.  But are the women daughters or dauthers-in-laws?  For me, the pic "softens" you up.  Makes me wanna hug ya instead of smack ya...  haha

And I don't think I've heard mention of a Ms. Bot.  I'm guessin there are too many to speak of...

If any of my old limey buddy's heard me say this , I don't know what they would do to me but that is one good looking ,dare I say it ,CHOPPER there I actually shouted it out, kidding aside you have made a very nice job, if you must have a chopper in my mind it has to be neat and clean and you scored a 10 on both, nice job.

Babyhog is the bikes name, I just call her piglet. The Suz IS pretty much a Baby HD, with over 1/2 of the displacement in one jug. Can you imagine making a V outta 2 of these jugs? Strapping it in a total package weight of about 450 pounds? Yikes,, Oughta make a good 0-60 time, fer shewer,

Yes, I moved to a new house in a heavily wooded area.

Physical therapy takes time to show results.  Be patient and stay with it.  Stiff upper lip.

If you want faster results, tell you new lady therapist to concentrate on a different area, you know....as an experiment to see what happens.  Tell her that you usually get paid, but since shes been nice, you will accomodate her for free, just this one time.

Mick, you are too kind.  I would never dream of calling myself pretty lady, but I appreicate the thought.  I'm not one who thinks of herself as pretty....
 
Love the new pics of you too.  It must feel like forever because I can see the love of bikes in your eyes, and read it in your words, but you'll be up and riding again.  And it will be oh so sweet!

Thanks Mick, I appreciate the kind words.
When I started out with the rebuild I intended to more toward a cafe racer style; then kind of shifted toward a dirt tracker ... mile dirt oval type... and then ended up with this.  It was one of those "best layed plans" things.   After making the plans I started gathering parts, which did not necessarily meet the plan spec's so I got off course by a degree or three here and there along the way which changed the course from a straight line into a loop or at least a wing over.  Anyway, this is where I ended up.  I did want clean and simple and functional, so from that perspective I did ok.  Oh, and about half way I decided I wanted it to have a WW2 fighter aircraft look to it too, so some of that came through as well.

Its not nice to make fun of a fool.
 Here is a more accurate picture, with my 90 year old mom.
http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk80/tlukatch/MOM2.jpg


Hey, I'm as big a fool as anyone so I'm there too.
You look like a regular guy in this photo; you even have all your hair still ... I'm jealous of that, most of mine is loooooooooong gone.   :D
Nice stach on your lip too.  You're looking good and healthy and I hope you live long and well.  Thanks for sharing.

Nice photo of you with your mother...it is a good thing to love our mothers.  Please pass along my best wishes for her.  
My mother is 82 and still pretty strong and active and I love her deeply.  She is the rock of the family.

My mom and dad several years before he died; this was about the last photo I have of them together.

When my dad passed away, it helped me a lot to realize that much of who and what he was, I carry in and with me.  It made me feel sort of like he isn't completely gone.

Also, consider doing this:  Before my dad died, I bought him a tape recorder and box of tapes, and asked him to record the story of his life and our family's life, starting from his earliest memories.  12 hours of tapes later, he was done.  I then later transferred all this onto CDs because they last so much longer than tapes.  Some years after he died, I sent copies of these to all my brothers and sisters.  They didn't know this existed, and were very, very grateful.  Its unnerving to listen to them, now after 12 years since he died, because it sounds like he's right next to me talking to me.  Anyway, the CDs are priceless to my family.  Also, I set up a video camera in the corner of the room and would zoom in on him and just walk away from the camera while it ran, at birthdays and Christmases. These tapes ( now onto DVD) are also held priceless by the family.  

Anyone who has an elderly parent still alive, should consider doing what I've done.  It will be priceless to you in the future, when the parent is gone.

Dad in the 1930's...he is the man in the center:

Very cool, my Dad died 2 years ago (at age 84) and I miss him and think of him alot.  I really need to find some old pictures of him on his motorcycles...    
He probably wouldn't have made tapes like that though, because he was pretty soft-spoken.  I think maybe I'll ask my Mom though.  She's only 75, and still running full steam.  Thanks for sharing.  Is your Mom making tapes too?

And yes, I am married, second time around, 4+ years now.

No, my mom doesn't remember enough to make any tape.  About 5 years ago she went in for broken hip surgery, and was warned that the anesthesia could cause people of her age (85 then) to suffer memory loss.  She had no choice and went ahead with the surgery.  Within a few days it was obvious that her memory was defective.  She goes in and out of it, thinking that she is living in a house she owned in the 1950s, then thinks she is in a different state, and so on.  She will leave the oven on at 400 degrees with it's door open for the whole day.  So now she lives with a 24 hour a day paid caregiver.  The pic of me and her was taken aboard a cruise ship vacation which my rich sister paid for.  I was asked to come along because I was the only one who had the muscle to help her in and out of her wheel chair and push her around the ship all the time, and I know how to work around her memory problems and keep a smile on her face through non-stop attention.  Although I do not have tapes of her talking about her life, I do have a great deal of video.

I myself have made arrangements with my sons in case I ever get like that.  I have instructed them that if I become senile or get Alzheimers, they should take me to the city zoo, put a sword in my hand and throw me over the side into the Lion pit.  Then I can die with honor, in combat.

We have been through this before, people who were members got different bikes and just dropped off,or just moved on, the last time we did a body count it was way less than a hundred members,that was just before the last election.
Even old Skrapiron dropped off for almost a year,then there is a female member who gets all pissed off if some one offends her (like me) Do you remember Gort ? you were here, you too Starlifter.
what was it fifty or sixty members in all ?  Sorry boule-tard.

Yea, but this is a good way to see how many are still with us!  There are still several members who post regularly that don't want to show their face, me thinks.  And that's fine.  I'm not greatly comfortable posting my own pic, so I won't fault anyone for not doing it.  But several of us posted anyway.  I just think its cool to put a face with the posts...

Since we are doing old pics, here is a pic of me taken in the late '60s, about to leave to attend my H.S. graduation.  I decided to piss off the school faculty because I didn't like their faces, so I bought Nazi medals from an antique store and pinned them to my graduation gown and rode to the ceremony, with the gown on.  I kept my Nazi Helmet on, and sat down among the other graduates.  I was told to leave unless I took all the crap off.  So I left.

It was a 1954 Harley Davidson Hummer, and was a 2 stroke.  I bought it from a farmer down the road who had it and a 1936 Harley V twin in his barn, for sale.  I test drove the $50.00 V-Twin, but didn't like the steerhorn handlebars or the massive running boards, and didn't like the fact that at idle, the engine got so hot that it felt like it was going to burn my legs.  The Hummer was $25.00 and easier to manage.  I drove the Hummer for about a year, unregistered with an illegal license plate, and with no driver's license.  I knew little about mechanics at that time and had no $, so I rode the bike as it was.  I also knew nothing about bike helmets, which is why I wore a steel military helmet which would have crushed my head if I had fallen with it on.

I knew a guy who made straight A's. He TOLD them not to put him in the National Honor Society.

They did it, anyway.

He dropped a few grades to lose eligibility.
They dropped him from the rolls.

One time in 10th grade the chemistry teacher caught me discretely angling for a better view down the blouse of a girl, who was bent over a sink during a group experiment.  He loudly said that I should pay more attention watching the experiment rather than looking down Mary's blouse.  I was humiliated, so I looked at him and said " Those that can, do.  Those that can't, teach."  I got sent home for that.

I hope you got a new front tire.  Looks like a two stroke.?



It was a 1952 Harley Davidson Hummer, and was a 2 stroke.  I bought it from a farmer down the road who had it and a 1936 Harley V twin in his barn, for sale.  I test drove the $50.00 V-Twin, but didn't like the steerhorn handlebars or the massive running boards, and didn't like the fact that at idle, the engine got so hot that it felt like it was going to burn my legs.  The Hummer was $25.00 and easier to manage.  I drove the Hummer for about a year, unregistered with an illegal license plate, and with no driver's license.  I knew little about mechanics at that time and had no $, so I rode the bike as it was.  I also knew nothing about bike helmets, which is why I wore a steel military helmet which would have crushed my head if I had fallen with it on.

is that little engine a viliers  197cc ? or a ? wait a minute, italian right ?

Post by Gort on 11/18/09 at 16:08:01

It was 165cc and the design was DKW.  The allies lifted the DKW design after WW2, and it was copied and modified by Harley, BSA and Yamaha.

You guys need not worry about the skirt - I wear legging underneath, and the skirt is wrapped around my legs tight. Boots on, leather gloves, helmet.  It works for the short distance event. I am debating wether or not to ride tomorrow to an event in a dress. Different time period, more layers, more skirts. Not as safe so I may have to pass and take the cage instead.  :P

Here's the secret:  Use black shoe polish to refresh the leather on your bike, AND SPILL A GLOB OF THE POLISH ON THE MUFFLER WITHOUT REALIZING IT!!!!!!!!!!  Then, when you crank it up and it gets hot, it turns that 'wonderful' shade of blue. >:(

This method works best when the muffler is BRAND NEW!!!!!!!!! >:(

Yes i bought the bike here, it is not a very common bike here, all the cypriots apreciate Hardley and Busa turbo, they ride mostly with no helmet (Mad Max style) so we see on the news every weekend that some teenagers died. I am 2 hours airplane distance from my country, but in 3 years i've been only once in Romania. If u look in the pics u can see Ed. L fwdctrls (thanks Ed), what u cannot see is the jets from Lancer (thanks Lancer), so Cyprus is not so far. i would like to ride in the weekend with other savage owners but there are not so many of them, i think i see only 3 in my area.

Well this thread is going to fall off, so I will bring it up to the top again. Here is a pic of a 1970's Honda CB160cc I used to ride on the CA freeways.  It only went 60mph and I didn't want to blow the engine, so I would ride in the shoulder at 40mph.  When I came up to a short bridge with no shoulder, I would stop and wait for the traffic to clear up and then zoom across the bridge and back onto the shoulder.

Okay, here's the bike I learned on. 1977 Yamaha rd400. I bought it from a guy in my squadron for 800 bucks in 1979. I remember the day I bought it I took it straight out on the freeway in so. cal., rode about a mile and ran out of gas. I had to push it to the next exit, about a mile if I remember correctly. I rode it around for about 6 months and then decided it was time to get my learners permit. I rode it for another 6 months on the learners permit before I sold it. It was a great little bike. Did great wheelies.

I think the pistols were about A hundred $ each,and I made a nice job of the case, I sold the whole lot for $500 , I was thinking of doing it to make some side money, the orders were to far and in between, and who in the heck does pistols at dawn any more, or even sabers at sunset ?

Yea, ya got a good point there Mick, I can't remember the last time I saw a pair of dudes step off ten paces, turn & fire...or jab, slice & hack
at each other.     hmmm    We're so much more civil now days; yea.    :)

You build them, Mick. Then the next gun show thats coming to town, contact a few of the people that have the booths & see if you can sell some to them. Youll make less $$$, but if you can get someone to sell your guns & boxes at a decent clip, youll make out. That would be a great cottage industry. There are plenty of Civil War re-enactors & people who just "Dig" the old stuff. Try distressing your boxes & make them look "Period", maybe do the same with a couple of the guns, try to age them, gently.

You know Sir Mick, I was thinking....now that you have a little spare time while you are recovering, perhaps moonshine would be something for you to get involved with.  You live on acreage in a semi isolated area, and you could work at your own pace.  You should be able to sell your bootleg well under current market value, making it an attractive purchase in these hard times. Your profits could be saved towards buying yourself a new bike when you are ready to ride again.

I did make a very small still (legal size )one gallon jug, I cant drink while I recover from the hand problem, I could always take up art again, get the paints and canvas out , I think that will be more enjoyable, and I will have someting to show for it, better than a hangover.
And Justin, I cant make a precision pistol from a kit and or boxes with one hand, and while I was into woodturning I made some beautiful stuff , I used exotic woods none are cheep, one of my favorites was blood wood, I found a piece ,enough for one candlestick, they never did get any more in,that was 3 years ago. And one was called
Pink Ivory, my Dad and I lined up in LA half the night just to get two half inch thick slices by about 7 and up to 10 inches around ,You could only get one each, @ $35 to $55 a piece,just like it was cut right off the branch,so about he only thing you could make was a clock face, I ended up not making anything, I polished it up and just looked at it, I cant think of any woodworking you can do one handed, so I will paint ,now all I need to do is get motivated, I need a beautifull young model,of the female persuaion,or the next best thing, a Ducati.
The Italians are the only people who can turn there bikes into an art form.

Mick you grew up around English motorcycles and you take their beauty for granted.  I like the Ducatis in the last 20 years but back in its day nothing could compete with the lines of a Bonneville. BSA's and Nortons were beautiful motorcycles also. Paint me your beloved BSA Goldstar and I'll buy it. Youre in business, youve already sold one painting.  [smiley=wink.gif]

do you know Midnight I have been threatening to paint a Motorcycle for quite a few years , I have never owned a Goldie, I have owned 3 BSAs, and I have ridden a friends Goldie at the track (Brands Hatch) but never owned one.  I have owned a Norton, I don't have to own it to paint a picture of it. I guess I had better get my easel out and dust it off, I friend told me to get my lazy $$s in gear, and start to make myself usefull  (Gort).  I even have a canvas ready to go.

Yes indeed it was Cabela's, if I recall it was just off the freeway in Nebraska, A big McDonalds by the exit ,and the biggest fish tank I have ever seen inside a building,a beautifull Shotgun room, and what was great they had truck parking (Semi's), all ways got delayed there
I could walk around for hours ,great outdoor clothing ,just a fine store.
Wasn't  most of the gear sold in there Made in the USA ?
The two pistols I had were large I think 44 caliber, cap and ball, They were made in a forehgn country but not china, I think Italy or Spain.
the Caps were made in Germany, so they were precision made and the pistols wearn't  = bad fit.

That's the one, Sidney Nebraska.  They started out in a brick warehouse there, selling homemade flys through flyers in the mail.

The pistols were probably made by Uberti, Italian if I remember right.  .44, I had one, after firing a few cyliders it'd start to get gummed up and you'd have to help it turn when you pulled the hammer back.  Black powder does NOT burn clean. ;D  I actually traded the revolver for the pistol in the pics.

Ok Justin, FYI  the "Count Domenico Agusta"who's  father was in the aviation business started making motorcycles at the factory called Meccanica Verghere  (MV) in 1927, they were very expensive but did quite well with them, they were DOHC.  What you should do is leave hints around regarding the info I just got from the motorcycle Encyclopedia. It's a great book and makes you seem smart.

What I consider my first real motorcycle. I was about 14 or 15 at the time. It's a 1985 Honda Rebel 250. Sorry about the quality, I just scanned it. It was a picture taken with a little 110 camera obviously lots a years ago.

I sure was goofy lookin' back then wasn't I?

Thats because the colors and lighting are not accurate.  The actual 45 year old 35mm slide this was taken from turned reddish and faded.  I have a device that lets you scan slides and turn them into digital pics on your computer.  Included with the device was a program on a disc which allows you to adjust colors, focus and lighting.  So I adjusted the red, faded slide to have the colors and lighting that seemed closest to what I remembered the original to be like.  Problem is, the program never allows you to achieve perfection, so this slide turned out a little surrealistic.  But its way better than the faded red mess that it was.

Here is an example of what I am talking about.  This slide of my brother is around 40 years old.  It was exposed wrong somehow when it was taken, and also it is so badly faded and color changed that you can barely make out what it is.  This is the best I could get it, but at least my brother can see it now and he is very happy to at least have this:

Hey Gort have you noticed that Jerry eichenberger still has not shown himself or his bike. Now remember Gort this is a guy who teaches people to fly single engine aircraft as well as multi engined , and he says he cant operate a digital camera, the one I got came with a little book of instructions,and I believe it was you who showed me how to post them, I'm sure you would do him the same curtisy. So how about it Jerry ,are you gonna get a camera ? we won't laugh I promise.

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!
Post by Gort on 11/28/09 at 23:59:44

You are right, Mick.  A man with the ability and discipline to finish Harvard Law School, Summa Cum Laude, and then become a wealthy attorney who flies his own aircraft for amusement, would certainly have and know how to use a digital camera.  His probably cost a thousand dollars, which is pocket change for a man like this.  I have a sneaky feeling that Jerry Eichenberger is an assumed name, and this poster is really Al Gore or George Bush, or maybe Pope Benedict XVI.  

Note:  After I posted the above post, I  looked Jerry up on the 'net.  Mick, this man is not just an attorney, he owns a whole god dammed law firm!  He probably doesn't post a picture of himself on his bike because he had the whole thing gold plated and he doesn't want us to feel bad.

Hey Gort,

That slide with the good stuff on the right and the reddish color on the left reminds me of the last pic on the roll of negative film. The last one almost always looked that way, I think because of over exposure.

Yes, it was the last slide on the roll and it was taken on one of those briefly popular split frame cameras which took a 35mm film and only moved it half the way across the lens, resulting in twice as many slides available from a roll of film.  Only problem was, the slides were no longer square, because the camera dived them into 2 rectangles.  This 40+ year old slide also aged to the point of fading so badly that you could barely make it out.  But the color/light adjusting program I ran it through allowed me to compensate somewhat, resulting in what you see.

Anybody know what model Honda this was? Neither my brother or me can remember.

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!
Post by RidgeRunner13 on 11/29/09 at 13:50:09

'Back in the day', Honda's started at 50cc, 65cc, & 90cc.The 90's had a 'curl' on the fender tips. IIRC, the 50,s had downswept exhaust & the 65's an upswept system. All the headpipies interchanged. I ran a 65 headpipe with a reverse megaphone. Burnt myself several times with that setup but loved it any way. Aaaaahhhh, those first bike memories, nothing EVER stays stock around me.

1. is the Joker's sister,...
3. is Mrs. Magoo...
2. is a hottie,.. and I hope she's wearin' the same boots as number 1.... :-*

I'm also a pushover for the Velocette script.... now that's sexy!... :-*

Well,...now, I just feel like a Slutt... :-?



PS,.. I just learned that the site robo-censor will re-interpret the word "$lut" as a "very friendly person".... :-?
;D ;D ;D  is that hysterical, or what?!.... ;D ;D ;D

Nice collector's pics.  Thanks Sir Mick.

I zoomed in on rider #2 and its not a stogie.  Her lip is discolored as if someone painted it.  I suspect either Sir Mick bit her, or its a problem with the photograph.  Probably Sir Mick bit her.

The tool bag?  Nothing.. zipper handles.   The DRZ is totally tricked out with an MRD race pipe, FCR carb, Twin-Air filter about the size of a car filter, and the 3x3 airbox mod.  Misc. goodies include Zeta handgaurds, DRZ Edge tail light/blinkers, Acerbis front fender, sticky Avon tires, and of course the required manual cam chain tensioner, milled shifter and case saver on the left side.  I had to put the optional baffle in the pipe.. it was too much.  I also plan to raise the front sprocket to 15 teeth, maybe that will help keep the front end down.

Hi Gort

My first bike was a Honda 65, looked just like that.  dang we must be getting old.  The transmission main saft on mine went out a 12kmile but it was a fun little bike.  Mom probley saved my life by getting me the 65  instead of letting me get the 650 boniville I wanted.

Yeah right.  Of course you have no idea who they are.  C'mon, Sir Mick.  You come up with all these pictures of women who were around when you were a young rake, and you tell us you don't know anything about them.  Know what I think?  These photos are all part of a larger album you have accumulated over the years of your numerous conquests.

The last pic was when we met up in a little hamlet in Kent and rode down to a seaside town called Margate...  A bit of a grubby dive even then.....

Here's me that weekend..

Hmmmm.... ermmmm.....

Then on the way home I bumped into a thing called a Cortina...

Just as it turned right, across the traffic and I hit it near broadside...

Just like this one..... (pinched from google just to give you an idea..)

If you can't resize it in your photo software, and if you are using Photobucket, there is a re-size option that you can use to reduce the size of the pic.  If not, you can probably resort to opening it in Paint, which most people have, and use the "Image" >> "Stretch/Skew" function .... reduce the %'s equally horizontal & vertical (80%/80% or something) and re-save the picture.  Good Luck!

by the look of your neat jacket you would be considered a rocker, but that little bike 125cc  is closer to a scooter so that would make you a Mod.  And they still have (L) plates ? ,so what are you Skidoo ?
I'm a rocker you can follow this thread back to check it out. My son who still lives in England was pretty disgusted when he found out ,because he ride's a scooter. in fact he has not spoken to me since,

To this day we still have the great scooter/bike divide over here.

Mick,

Talking about tipping the mailman, not to mention the other tradesmen, brought to mind that it is almost Boxing Day.  Most of the people on this site probably have no idea about it. I always thought that it contributed to a sense of community.

Sir Mick, In 1970 in Pennsylvania I worked as a mailman for 1 month.  I worked inside the Post Office, and delivered on route.  I watched mail sorters deliberately throw parcels marked "fragile" down onto the floor.  Uninsured parcels that looked interesting were opened and the contents stolen on route.  Magazines were opened and read during lunch break, and stolen if they were interesting.  I became so disgusted with this that I quit.

5 years ago in Orange County,  I heard a a loud thud against my front door. I quickly got to the door only to see the mailman walking back to his truck, after having thrown a parcel through the air at my front door.  I knew this because the box had bounced off the door and was laying about 4 feet from the door on the lawn.  The box was marked "Fragile", and was not even addressed to me.  I immediately called the Postmaster to tell him to come back for the box since it was wrongly delivered, and to complain about it being thrown at my door.  He didn't seem to care in the least.

The mailman gets paid very well for what he does, and has great government benefits and pension. They do what they are supposed to do, and nothing more, and they get paid very well. They are not like those employed in a low paying job where tipping is expected for survival, like a waitress.  In Orange County CA, the waiting list for a mail carrier job was over 10,000 applicants. I have an aunt living in PA who tips the mailmen, and her reason is she is afraid they will not make the required effort to deliver her mail in a responsible manner. She thinks this way from years of experience getting shoddy service from the mail carriers.  

Case in point:  If you move, never ever fill out the cards at the Post Office for forwarding your mail to your new address.  Once you do that, some of your mail will be forwarded, some will be delivered to your old address, and some will be returned to sender "address unknown".  Once you fill out the forwarding cards and submit them to the Post Office, you're screwed.  This has happened to me twice, and to friends and relatives over the years.

Anyway, its for reasons like the above, that I've known few people to tip the mailman. And those that do, do so because they are afraid he will retaliate with poor service if he doesn't get his Christmas 'tip'.

Post by sugar n spice on 01/02/10 at 10:21:02

Wow, Gort!  My experience with my mail carrier as well as the people in our post office has always been just the opposite.  The carrier was thoughtful and went out of his way to be helpful.  In fact he allowed me to move my rural mailbox from one end of my lot, to my driveway which was around the corner on the other side of the lot, and he went out of his way to make things as convenient and easy for me as possible.  For his thoughtfulness and consideration I gave him something I baked, cookies or a nut bread, as a Christmas present.  It was my way of thanking him even if it wasn't cash.

I think my buddy Gort must have had some bad luck with his post office, we have a very small one and we are all on a first name basis, Well actually I kinda have the warmy's for my pretty blonde mail carrier, but I think she is married. anyway,no problem with mine.

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!
Post by Gort on 01/02/10 at 13:46:39

Perhaps that is the reason, Sir Mick.  The Post Offices I have been served by were and are huge.  Nobody knows who the mailman is, nor cares.  I could see it would be different if things were on a more personal basis, like your situation is.

I guess they do at that,I have two mail carriers in the family,my youngest daughter who lives in St George Utah.
And My nephews wife who lives in Seatle. It cant be that wonderfull because my daughter quit last year August,she had worked there for 4 years and was still part time with zero benifits, a job with benny's came along and she took it.
Maybe next year I shall just make her some of my famouse peanut brittle,sound good?

I noticed that Rocco has no sleeves on his "T" shirts,perhaps you can see what he does with them,incase you need a few more for your tool kit Serowbot. Yes Sir, rocco does pretty good in the muscule dept, I thought it a little odd when he said we were the same hieght 5' 6" ,but he weighs 180 and I weigh in at 135, soaking wet.

Ok, after seeing Rocco out there showing off in his sleevelessness (Rocco, dude, you're crazy man ! )  ;D, all the more reason to loose the excess baby fat and get back down to "Riding weight "  !   ;)  
I am at 205 now; was down to 188 early last year but did not keep it going.   Rocco and I are the same basic size/build but I have the extra cushioning now.  Of course he has the advantage of YOUTH ...... ah yes, I remember it fondly.  I wore tank tops all the time back then.

Do not stop commenting; I like reading your posts.  
That is why we are here in the first place, eh ? ?

I did not intend to sound like I was down on myself, I was just stating the facts of my current condition which happens to be that I need to loose weight.  It will certainly be better for me, especially since I have diabetes, but also easier to move and do things with less physical discomfort.   Having fibromyalgia and arthritis; the physical pain/discomfort of both of those does respond well to weight loss.

Thank you for your kind words by the way, it is appreciated a lot.
And yes, the love of my wife has only grown over the years.  She has stuck by me and loved me inspite of myself and a couple of personal disasters over the years.

Post by LANCER on 01/25/10 at 09:06:12

Yes, Mike knows... it's an Edelbrock Q/S II.   I mounted the Edelbrock because I had one on hand at the time.  I had sold the last Mikuni VM during the extended rebuild with the intension of getting another but just have not done so yet.  The cost of the VM with UFO and DAJ is not in the budget right now.

The photo does show a dual disc front wheel(discs are the same size)  but with just one caliper on the left side.  I now have a set of front tubes with dual calipers which will be installed before long.  The front end is a Suzuki GS650/550 setup

By the way, Verslagen was hugely responsible for getting it together this past summer when he came out for the Dragon ride, especially for getting the wiring harness back together with mod's.  He is a great guy.

Oldnewguy,

I bought them from J&P Cycles.  They are actually a 3/4 length board, but seem to work fine.  I really like them.  Because they are basically for a Harley, you have to drill out the mounting hole slightly, and do a little shimming, but it is nothing major.

My first bike ever.the one pictured was not mine but mine looked just like it except mine was alot cleaner,in fact mine was spotless,I owned it for a year before being allowed out on it,I was underage, I / we my Dad and I stripped it down 3 times before he let me do it my self ,after I did it successfully he took us out to the local air strip, to learn the fine art of going faster than any one else,I had already learned to ride his norton and a 125 BSA Bantem trials bike,but having MINE was so much better, mine was a 1937.tha same age as me ;)

look at the license plate.
it's a 250.                Ever since, a 250 has been my favorite size engine for a bike,with the right man (not me) tuning a 250 you can get about as much speed as you can any bike.
There was a guy in Swansea "Hugh Moffett" he could tune a 250 Rudge just like the one in the above picture and get it into racing form and achieve 118 mph he always had a couple racing in the Isle of Man
every year while I was growing up, I think he won one as well,he did not race,he always thought it was to dangerious. If you saw him out on the road any time,he would sure give a run for your money

Hmmm... I got the hippy hair, plus the bike and guns; best of both worlds? :-?
I've thought about trimming it back in the summer though.  I can tuck it into my winter jackets, but the summer one has a pretty low collar, and if ya just let it all down in the wind, it's a big mess later. ;D  Need to find me a girlfriend that can braid I guess; I can barely braid rope, let alone hair! ;D

Don't remember the song, but the band was "Dead Junkie." We had a lot of fun.

Can't see it in the later photo of me and the bike, but the silver streak is on it's way. Some grays up front. Eh, no big deal. Doesn't bother me at all.

When my Dad got Cancer, he talked about the little kids he saw losing their hair from the chemo, so I decided to donate my hair to help make wigs for the kids and women with the Cancer. I've done it twice so far. Have to wait about 5 years until I have 10" for them.

Simon, I love the drawing... awesome!  I looked at the website.  I wish I had seen it before I got rid of my '65 Mustang!

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!

very good work Simon.

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!
Post by SimonTuffGuy on 01/30/10 at 18:43:31

Just to clarify again, this artwork was not done by me... I contacted Brian over at bearbumstudio.com to draw it up for me. Charge was $50 and I got 4 "variations" of it... One with a front fender and one without, and then each of those had one with a blue background and one with a white background.

I plan on printing the image onto a tshirt for my website.

As far as signals and brake light... Those are going to be integrated somewhere under the 1/2 fender. Should look pretty good when it's all done.

If anyone else is interested in having Brian draw something up, he can probably reuse some of my drawing and get it a little cheaper for you or something. Brian was great to work with... I saw 4 proofs along the way and gave suggestions for it... From the day we started talking, I had finals within 3 days.

I'm really impressed with his work though. He did a drawing of my Jeep too for a tshirt design too. He's doing my website logo next, and then probably a caricature after that. :)

trublu,
Below are instructions on posting pictures to this site, if you wanna give it a try.  I know PhotoBucket has a resize option, or you can always use "Paint" on your computer before uploading to Photobucket or whatever you decide to use... open the picture in Paint >> Click on "Image" >> "Stretch/Skew" and change the horizontal and vertical evenly from 100 (%) to something smaller, maybe 50/50 if its a really big picture... it depends on how big your picture is to begin with.  I use Paint as an example because it is standard on most computers.  Many of the photo softwares have resizing options, if you just look for it.  If you don't want to try it, PM me and I'll be happy to post them for you.

Nice lookin' bikes there Jef.  How's the power on the S50 compare to the Savage?  I've read that the S50 is kinda the "hot rod" of the Suzuki cruiser lineup, due to the light weight along with the size of the engine. :-/

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!

        s83 has a smaller radiator.

Plus in the "introduce yourself" thread he said it was an S50, I believe.

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!
Post by PerrydaSavage on 02/17/10 at 07:59:00

Yup, that's an S50 ... which is liquid cooled with the signature longer radiator ... S83 is air/oil cooled and has a rad that is only 'bout 1/2 the size of the cooler on the S50

Get 'em while they're hot, that's the last year for 'em. Dealer says the narrower frame and tank didn't sell as well as their "fatter" siblings. Too bad, they ride nice if you're not too tall!

Title: Re: Let's see you and your ride!
Post by jef.savage on 02/23/10 at 20:02:52

I'm very happy with the S50.  Yes, it's significantly lighter (and so quicker) than the other Boulevards, including the S83.  I haven't timed it but read that it will go through the 1/4 mile in 13.3.  I just got the Savage a few weeks ago and it's winter in Boston so I haven't ridden it enough to compare.

The S83 and S50 do look very similar.  The give-away is the smaller radiator, as mentioned, (it's an oil cooler, S50 is liquid cooled) and the S83 tail light is under the fender.

Yup that is in the black hills on the road to sylvan lake, it has a ton of switch backs going up the Mt. I love it out there so much and having a motorcycle a long is the ONLY way to really absorb the fullness of the hills!

Great pics everyone.  Kim, that's a fun looking little scooter.  I've thought about getting one, as long as it had the oomph to hold it's own on the highway, maybe a 150 or 250?  Hard to argue with the mileage some of them get! :o

Don't have any real recent pics, since my last couple rides were just to the store and such.  Hoping to get some time in tomorrow, if the weather doesn't turn icey.  CycleGear and the Trinity Road Riders are sponsoring a Polar Bear ride tomorrow that I'd like to get in on; if I do, may have some pics from that.  'Til then, I'll throw in some pics from a couple months ago, that most have already probably seen. ::)
Both of these are in the Mount St. Helens area:

Hey John, yeah it was a blast to ride. I miss it yet so happy to have my S-40. The scooter had been modified and would go at least 55. I took my safety course and came out 3rd in the class on it..
I wanted to share a pic of my first bike even though I no longer have it.. Glad you liked it.. :) kim

Thanks!  If it warms up this afternoon I may just go out and enjoy some of it.  Thermometer says 21 right now though, and it's past my bedtime, so not gonna do any riding for a bit.

It's amazing the hi-po stuff they make for scooters, even the 50cc ones.  Might be a fun and inexpensive little hot rod. :D

Yeah, Thumper has a SuperBrace, and is more stable in the grooves and feels better in the corners.. BUT,
Mad Hamish is running on the original 10 year old IRCs, and Thumper is on Metzeler.

I just got Mad Hamish ($800 and 2300 miles) a few weeks ago.  I thought the tires would need replaced right away, but no cracks anywhere.  I even deflated them and squished them around.  I'm sure they won't last very long though.  When they go, I'll put Route 66 tires on.

The day I got my bike home

http://www.andrewlongdesigns.com/laura/mybike.jpg


Then I have a picture of me with my gear, but it's one of those ridiculously small barely see a thing picture. Then I realized my sweetheart took a video once. {:)} (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAuYPPosEoQ)

In the above video ^ the reason my bike seems louder than the norm is because the PO hollowed out the muffler and welded the sucker on there. Was a pain in the ass to get off haha, but it sure sounded nice while it lasted.. x)

Haha thank you!  The Mustang seat I found cheap on ebay, originally fit an old Ironhead, I believe, but it was the look I wanted.  Shape was kinda the same, unfortunately the seat pans were totally different, so I removed both covers and guts and swapped them.  Put the Mustang cover and guts on my stock seat pan.  Voila!  It wasn't easy, and I ended up getting help from an upholsterer, but I love it.

Come on now ... don't be shy ....  let's see you and yours....   8-)

Hey, we do have twin bikes!  Wouldn't we look awesome riding side by side?  Oh yes we would!      

Nothin' wrong with that suit either.  I'm diggin' the red!

Thanks! :) When I first saw the bike on a Craigslist post I was pretty skeptical if I wanted it due to it was a cruiser and the color n'such. The price made me go though lol and I love the color and the bike to death now. lol

Guess it's been a while since I've thrown one with me in it up; mostly because I don't ride with other people much, and don't think to take pics of myself. ::)
Anyway, here's one I took a couple weeks ago because Mom said she didn't have one with me and my new(er) bike.  Ok for just setting it on a guardrail post with the timer! :D

;D Thanks!  I've had it long for 7 years or so this time, but it gets old having to deal with it when riding: either stuff it under your jacket, or break out the hair ties. ::)  Thinking about chopping a bunch off and donating it to that "Locks for Love" thing.

Donating your hair to help make wigs for women/children losing their hair from chemo is a good thing. I did my 3rd donation a few months back, about 12 inches. I'm out of the shower quicker, and my hair doesn't smack Shar in the face anymore when we're riding. I met a couple of women at a Cancer event a while back. They were both sporting wigs made from donated hair. It was good to see the end result.

Bah, they don't know what they're talking about.  They were calling for showers the first half of the week here, and it's been decent enough to take the bike to run errands this afternoon.  Of course in the NW the forecast does a 180° two or three times a day! ::)

Shane, man! You have one of the best bikes ever made! Where do you live? I found a 550 SC NightHawk that runs, on CL for less than $500.  I missed it by one day. I don't want the extra trouble of extra cylinders, but I would jump on it. If you are close click on the CL deals in N mississippi and Florence/the Shoals Alabama, or Jackson, Tennessee. I am in the corner of these places. Those Hondas are all over and prices are good here. A young guy with a good back and a little money could clean up. I was offered a CX 500 that I rode and an XS 1100 Yamaha with the headlight wiring pulled out in a wad for $1200 last summer. I love your Honda, and my guess is, if you ever sell it, you will regret it. Love it, man. ;)

Thanks guys, berg I purchased all of the bobber parts from blue collar bobbers except for the handlebars. Those are biltwell keystones, I wish I could say I made it but I just put it together and did some amateur painting.  ;)  I did however make the oil stain on the exhaust wrap forgetting that oil would come out when taking off the filter cover, so I guess I am good at making a mess.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. I just bought this 2001 LS650 last week and hope to have it running soon. It's got a few electrical problems right now, but nothing serious. I wanted to post a picture of it since I have never seen one in this color red. We're pretty sure it's original paint too.

Post by Dead Fish on 05/09/12 at 06:55:06

gc, just in the right place at the right time. As the story goes, the bike had been left for service at a local independent motorcycle shop and the owner moved out of state and never returned to pick it up. The shop owner eventually tracked him down and, after all the certified letters and a lawyer, secured a mechanic's lien and then clear title after about 18 months. He put it on Craigslist for $1,750 and took my $1,500 offer. The bike needed a detail cleaning and had small tank scrape where it had been dropped, but other than that, it seems solid.

It's a birthday present to myself!!!  It's a very clean 1996 with less than 8500 miles on it  ;D It has a Dunstall style exhaust and the jetting upgrade. The windshield is a Memphis Shades unit and is the best shield I've ever had.

My newly aquired 03 savage,

Riding in shorts scares me to horribly.  When I was a kid I had a little Italian 2 stroke mini bike with a chrome muffler.  I touched my leg up against that muffler one day when I had shorts on - and I got a horrible burn.  It was on my calf and was about the size and shape of a 2 dimensional lemon on the meaty part of my calf.  It was a really bad burn and looked like sausage pizza while it was healing, and it was really painful.  I "never" ride with shorts, and I never let my wife ride on my bike unless she is wearing long pants and boots.

Dave, you had to bring up the exhaust burn on the leg issue... Myself and everyone of my childhood riding buddies have had the deaded inner thigh/calf exhaust burn. Thank goodness for the miraculous healing speed of youth.

It is a LOT easier to ride if you don't have to crawl over the saddle.

Great to hear from you again, MIke!  I'm saddened to hear that your Thumper is no longer among the breathing.  Great looking Vespa though! However, now that I think about it, if you are considering selling your LeatherLykes separately please let me know because I'd be interested.

Below is the 2007 S40 I learned to ride on last year and the 2007 C50 with 2,000 miles I picked up two weeks ago. I already miss the S40 but budget and garage space limit me to one bike. The first 250 miles on the C50 have been great and I have not had any issues transitioning to the larger and heavier ride. It is just your basic black C50 but I have already added Cobra highway bars and a drivers backrest.
Good hunting

Thanks. The Corbin was worth the price IMO. I could ride all day and never think about the backside. The stock seat, even after all the modifications, would have me off the bike in less than an hour.

Its off a 2007 honda rebel 250, I fabbed up a couple of brackets using scrap metal for the bottom and used a 1 3/4" muffler clamp bolt for the top.
I attached the bottom brackets  to the engine mount thru bolt and the left peg attaching bolt.

I think a H-D horn mounted somewhere around the choke would really compliment what you've done there. My two cents of course.

Nice work.

As some of you know, I moved to a C50 in March. I still miss the S40. Anyway, I spent six hours detailing it on Saturday and thought I would post a shot since I will guarantee you it will never look better. I like riding a whole lot better than detailing. 8-)

I have put on about 800 miles on it so far and, other than the standard saddle (where have I run in to that before?) have been well pleased. I have added a OEM gel saddle, backrest, Cobra highway bars, and a set of Viking bags. The gel seat and backrest seem to be working well but I have yet to try an all day run. The next addition will probably be a set of highway pegs.
Good hunting

Its a great bike and very well maintained with only 12k on it and i'm only the 3rd owner and the owner before me only had it a year and he rode it once and never even obtained his Motorcycle license so i kinda consider myself the second owner. I have a question regarding the paint job. I have looked everywhere on the internet on this website and I cannot find the paint job. It is a two tone Red/Ivory, has anyone ever seen this before? Do you know if it is stock or aftermarket custom? Or was it a custom paint job done by Suzuki? Thx for any assistance.

Thanks Nick, I really like your all white bike too. Have anybody ever looked into the company Ryca? Have you bought a kit? if so is it easy to install?

It's a custom spray job. Also note the "tombstone" tail light and the 1940's styled front fender marker light, similar to the Indian Motorcycles. A few other subtle details but overall a clean piece of work!

Hey thanks, yeah i noticed the custom tail lights it also has the old school dark blue diamond in the middle of the tail light, and I figured the front fender marker was aftermarket. At first I really thought it was stock but once I got it home and started doing some research i couldn't find anything like it. It is such a clean paint job it just looked stock. The original owner was really going for that old school indian/harley look cause he put aftermarket pipes on it to that are super throating, whenever I start it up or drive by everyone thinks I'm a helicopter...lol.  Once again thanks for the info im new to motorcycles and especially Suzuki Savages but I really like the bike a lot its super fun and it does have some get up and go no matter what other people say. I'm 5'10 210lbs and it fits me good, the controls could be a couple inches forward but overall good fit. Im glad i found this forum

Good for you, taking your granddaughter out for fresh air and some sun the proper way ... on a bike ride.
By the way, you look a few days older than the last time I saw you on the Dragon ride.   :D ;D
I may look a day or two older too, but not quite sure yet.   8-)

Ricky, have you ever "weighed" your bobber? I'm thinking of buying one myself ( I ride the wifes savage) and trimming it down as far as possible,  either RYCA or bobber or maybe something totally alien.
Thanks

Never weighed it but, it's super light. If you do a Frankenstein garage job like me, you don't really have to but a kit. Just take enough off to keep it still barely road worthy. Lol...

Overall, pretty well.  Some minor irritants (hard to keep tight, may have to move front turn signals), but it works well.

Title: '87 Savage project
Post by rextec on 10/20/13 at 18:38:56

Hello im new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself as well as my "new" bike. Its an '87 savage i bought off of my buddy for $300. I have too many bikes as it is but i couldn't pass up this deal, plus ive wanted to get my hands on one of these bikes for a while! So far ive ordered a UNI filter, and the raptor petcock as well as new from EBC brake pads. Maintence wise i already adjusted the valves (they were too tight), did a compression test, tore apart and cleaned to carb, need to replace the fork seals, im going to inspect the timing chain tensioner also going to do an oil and filter change. She needs some love and attention but at least its all there. Im planning on doing a stripped down bobber with a dual sport front tire and high exhaust, basically building it to suit its desert environment (dirt roads etc.).

Well time to introduce myself:
Just went for a 3 hour outing on my Savage in 50F temps in southern Ontario Canada.  Awesome day and awesome ride.  Bought my 2003 Savage in September this year and loving it.  Going to spend the winter on the 'mods' whoeeee!!!
Well lets see if the pics attach.

I bought a LS 650 for my wife to lose the rust ...
And now that it's capable of more miles I decided it was time to turn before buying the Sportster for her.

Here's some pictures of how it was and how it was getting ...

Ricky,

Nice bike, well done.  Did you do your own thing or did you use a kit build like Blue Collar Bobbers.  What's a breakdown of your parts, if not a BCB kit?  How do you like the solo seat, exhaust, etc. ?

1995 de-bobbed, 10 degrees less rake, new head fins and tail section sketched up with electrics pushed out of the way. Lots of see-through space with the 1.4 pound super battery tucked away under the flat seat. Tail end of tank raised 2" with top of tank pad adding to its height. New pipe just bent as sketch shows and runs under belly. Front controls being removed and rear sets added. Clip on handle bars are barely seen in this view from the Galaxy 5 camera. Coming along nicely but very slowly. :-?

Hi, So I introduced myself ohhhh 2 years ago and really haven't posted since. Unfortunately I haven't work on the bike much either. So Ill re-introduce myself with hopes I can get fired up again in the garage.. Once it warms up.

Jeff ..aka WHISTLES.. Ontario Canada (near Cobourg), 31 Years old. bought a beat up and worn out 1988 Savage. I am in the process of a bit of a tear down, as I plan to rebuild and customize.

Grew up on dirt bikes, quads, tractors, and anything else that makes a bit of noise.

This is my first street bike /cruiser and my first rebuild, so I will be scouring the tech forums for help on a regular basis.

Here she was when I bought her.
http://oi67.tinypic.com/2qmqmau.jpg

and what Ive done..Tear Down, Hack up, strip apart.. weld in hardtail (voodoo vintage)

http://i68.tinypic.com/wlp06b.jpg

and did a faux rust finish.. with a clear over top

modified tractor seat
http://i67.tinypic.com/2aikkts.jpg

just showing the stance.. kinda... doesnt have the painted tank or skins on as you can see...
http://i68.tinypic.com/54raf.jpg
So that's where I'm at... aside from a few other things.. polished forks, rear brake drum..yada yada.. .still a long way to go.

Here's my second Savage.. pretty nice for a 1998 and only 8900 miles!! Gotta love the 5th gear now!! I had some old 70s Chopper Risers and a flatter handlebar that I installed.
The Aluminum risers took 1/2" fine thread bolts so I needed to drill the upper chrome washers to 1/2" (from 12mm) , used new washers on the bottoms, and I pushed in 1/2" spacers the same length as the old stock metal spacers in the rubbers and PRESTO!!

Size is fine.
640x480 to 800x600 is a good size.
But IRfanview is a good utility if you need to resize or convert.

Hello! My name is Chase, I am from Colorado and I am currently 20 years old. Kind of an introduction as this is kind of my first post....! Thought I'd share a picture of my 97' LS650. This is my first bike and I just bought it about 5 days ago. Working on some minor things but she runs perfectly!

Will post my problem(s) in the appropriate section at a later time. For now this is my first post so just as an intro, here's me back in March 2015 with my 05 S40 Boulevard:

My 1st bike back around '79. My daughter & me. She didn't ride back there till her feet could reach the pedals. At that age, it was real short rides sitting on the seat in front of me with her arms wrapped over mine.

No, it was a 1972 Yamaha DS7. A two stroke twin which was so much fun when I could get it started.

I bought this one last year because it was the closest I could get to the old DS7. It's a 2015 SR400 with wire wheels, kick start, and chain drive. It's a  four stroke with fuel injection so it always starts. Most times on first kick.

Thank you. It might end up as one of those barn finds. Well taken care of but hardly any miles. I love riding it but don't want to ruin the looks of it with saddle bags. The S40 gets over twice as many miles per year because I can carry things with it. Plus, the S40 handles interstates a lot better. I'll never get rid of either one.

First Post on the site.....  My first bike and have been converting it this fall....  Built a seat frame for a standard Triumph seat, rear controls, lowered front end, and slightly raised rear end.  Plan to re-create side covers that fill the void of the new seat, re-paint, and do the timing change check as well as the typical head plug leak fix later this winter.....  Much more comfortable now... hoping to get a few more miles on before winter ends it...

I used Progressive Suspension 412-4236C Heavy Duty 11.5" which seemed closer to 11.75"

I did the RYCA lowering kit, added boots, and just copied the RYCA rear sets and kick stand bracket (pretty much)..  I just couldn't see spending $375.00 for the rearset bracket and $299.00 for the kickstand bracket when I have a Mig welder, a portaband, and many grinders.

I had put 2,500 miles on this bike, the only bike I have ever ridden, and only about 50 miles (in the rain) with the lowered front.  So I am not qualified to voice opinions on ride about anything.  The weather stopped any future riding this season, and I need to tear it down and finish and paint all the parts I made, along with the color of the bike is going to change. along with other things that need work (clutch, and the typical head plug leak).

Later I want to put the bar tach and spedo on it with indicators where I can see them with a full face helmet...  Then weld up the tank so there is no indication that the old instrument cluster existed.

I am fairly new but lurking for a year. Got my big ass tire on the back and am going to do at least 2 big trips this year, one with my s40 and one with my pc800. Got the s40 set-up to cruuuuse, but the pc800 is ALOT better in the rain.

I was cautious about the backrest, but it took about 12 seconds to get used to it! It's like riding a Lazy Boy down the road now!
 With the solo seat and high gearing both me and the bike are comfy on the open road now.

Springman, E-Bay! The seat is off a Yamaha v-star, box and bags, windshield, Kaw pulleys, Shinko 150/90-15 rear tire. 02' Marauder rear wheel all came from E-Bay. I made the box and bags mount out of some 1/2" pvc sheet I scrounged from the back of a sign shop. Made the seat mounts and wheel fitting stuff at home. (I have a old metal lathe on my carport,comes in REAL handy when you monkey around as much as I do.) The Harley muffler is from Superthumper on this site.
 The gearing is got the revs down to about 3400 at 60mph from 4100. the bike and I are both happy there. My other bike is a Honda Pacific Coast and has me spoiled riding in the rain with the faring and big windshield. Thinking about building a frame mounted faring for this from fiberglass and foam, but it would be a BIG job.

I have been trying to get one of the European style grab rails for my S40 to no avail. So I decided to make one out of cold rolled steel and eventually will have it chrome plated or powder coated.

I used the fender supports from a 1999 Savage and took the dimensions from the sissy bar, which was a mistake. As the S40 rear fender is approximately 1/4" wider than the Savage rear fender.

I managed to spread the grab bar enough to install it in position and there are pictures here.

MM,

Thanks!

If I ever make another one I am going to use aluminum though.

Spreading that cold 1/4" to slip it on the bike is a lot more work than expected...

For future reference anyone that wants to do something similar, start by using 8 3/8" outside edge to outside edge for a measurement.

I've seen many great pictures in this section of the forum. I've admired the bobbers/ cafe racers and other individualisations of the S40, and would dearly like to have one. But my S40 is my only transport; I ride it all year round (I admit to having heated grips for winter). It is used for touring, scratching, commuting and grocery shopping. It even has to carry the banjo. So it remains stock. But I love it that way (I do have a Boulevard screen and Ventura rack, plus a clock).

I've had many bikes, but now I'm 73 this one should see me out. The weight is manageable, the power is adequate, and I enjoy riding it such that I'm always choosing the long way home. Now to see if I can work out how to attach a photo!

Very nice photos there, marekbuk.  I really like the clean look of your current bobber.
What seat and mounting plate did you go with?  Looks so nice.
And, what about the rear fender?  Does it allow running the 140/90 tire?  Are you running the stock 140/80 on the rear?

Sorry for all the questions but just cleaning up the seat and the back end of the bike is what I'd really like to do if I could ever get over the need for my saddlebags. :-/

Hi

Thanks for your comments - The fender and seat/plate were bought from Lance at Blue Collar Bobbers and everything fit snugly with the stock tyre.
I bought a Harley silencer from Super Thumper at Windsor Cycles and it sounds great!

Title: Re: savage photos + let's see you and your ride!
Post by marekbuk on 04/24/16 at 09:07:02

I also fitted a strip of Blue LED's under the seat which I think looks really cool - I know some people will think this a bit excessive but I had some left over from a job so hey! what the hell!

Post by Radical Maximus on 06/03/16 at 19:51:28

I picked up this old 04 LS650 Savage on a messed up salvage title about a month ago.  Got it to pass muster for inspection and filed all my rebuild and bonding paperwork so I have a legal title and plates now.  It apparently operated for several years on a paper dealer tag and a salvage title passed around without signatures.  

It runs pretty good and was not a bad deal for only $700.  Have lots of small things to tinker with and it won't go into 5th, so will probably keep it to local rides for now and break it down this winter.  That will give me time to fix some small things first and it really needs a sissy bar to keep the rug rats from sliding off.

I started calling it Duct Tape as a joke but my kids have picked up on the name so I guess now it is permanent.

Hey guys,
New to the forum, new to the S40. Got started riding about 20 years ago on a little Honda Nighthawk 250, then about a decade ago, I got some experience with a couple of Harley Fatboys. Haven't ridden on anything bigger than a bicycle for the past 8 years and I've only had my Baby Boulevard for about a week but so far... I'm really enjoying it.   ;D

Saw this 2012 S40 at a dealership in Sanford, NC with only 1,000 miles on it and once I did a 10 minute test drive, I knew I had to have it. Comfortable, loud, powerful (enough for me) and so darned gorgeous to look at. Anyway, see y'all around the board. Thanks for letting me show off a little.

Hello Everybody,
  Picked this '05 off of Craigslist a few months back.  Never toured on a big single so gave it a shot.  Lived on it for six days and 2500 miles.  It ran perfect, was reasonably comfortable, and got around 55 MPG.  I was really impressed with this bike.

Post by springman on 01/09/17 at 12:08:36

Hello Kenny,

If you do not mind my asking, where did you purchase that tail light? I am looking at options to replace my broken tail light and not leaning towards original. Thanks.

Title: Re: savage photos + let's see you and your ride!
Post by Kenny G on 01/09/17 at 13:58:33

Hello David,

The Lucas Style Tail Light came from Amazon and it was only like $11.00.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00230GLD0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The tail light uses about the same bulb as the stock bulb #1157, but since it does not have the elaborate reflector system as the factory light it wasn't quite bright enough. I bought a SuperBrite LED Bulb.

https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/1157-led-bulb-dual-function-27-smd-led-tower-bay15d-retrofit/2625/

The light is now very bright.

If you are going to mount it the same as I did you will need to make a bracket for it. The threaded posts on the Lucas Light are just slightly wider apart then the width of the license plate bracket. I used 1/8" x 1 1/2" aluminum from the hardware store, I think Home Depot. The bracket is simple enough, you need something to fasten the Lucas Light to and then fasten the bracket to the existing license plate bracket.
I drilled and tapped the Suzuki License Plate Bracket with an 8/32 tap and used Low Allen Head bolts to fasten it. You will need to make a ground wire for the new taillight as it only has 2 wires and the license plate bracket is rubber mounted to the fender.

I wish I would have taken some pictures.

Somewhere on The Forum a guy posted a really neat cross that he fabricated to cover the holes in the fender from the original factory tail light. I am thinking it may have been the guy with The Purple Passion bike.

Factory seat with a "furry" pad. (More comfortable than the Corbin with, or without, the same pad.)

Kenny, I LOVE that tail light setup. I've been looking for an option to move the tail light down there. Another guy on here, I think it was 'philthymike', did a great good job with a light that fitted under the fender and bolted straight on, but I reckon it's a bit hidden under the fender. I like a cool look, but I want people to see my stop light!

I'm gonna order the light and bulb and fit them when I get a chance.

BTW, I also saw the cool cross, you mentioned, that someone made to cover the holes where the old light mounts. I'm gonna think up a different shape and do the same thing. :)

Thanks Chris [ch9786], I do a bit of amateur photography so I'm usually on the other side of the camera. I taught my daughter to shoot when she was young, so when I visit her she always suggests I take the opportunity to be the subject in a photo or two for a change. It's one of the rewards of parenthood [ch9786]

Here is my old bike. Used to ride it to work until I got it out of the barn and on the way to the drive I almost tipped when my leg gave out. Since then I sold it, and walk with two canes.
Now I drive my son's MX-5. manual- 6 speed. Some of the same thrill shifting gears. Hardtop convertible. Bit tricky getting in and out!

I thought the fun of driving a vehicle was gone but then I inherited my son's 2015 MX-5 hardtop/convertible. (He's recovering from a back injuy and is driving our elantra.)
6 speed manual - 6 gear changes to get it to 55. Plenty of power and nimble on the road. Loves corners! Almost makes up for the bike!

I've got an 02, too. I had an 05. I like the 02better. The bars are more comfortable and the seat is a lot more comfortable. The windshield makes it a lot better at highway speeds.
And the Kawasaki front pulley calms it down at those speeds.
The cam chain is going to be needing attention in seven or eight thousand miles and it's valve adjustment time.
Rotella T 15/40 is a really popular oil around here.

What's the thing on your exhaust?
Ohhh, raising the front of the seat makes it easier on the butt.

This was mine at it's peak of looking cool.  That seat didn't last long.  It was a real butt numbing experience.  I sold it long ago, but do miss it.

I kept getting bigger bikes but they were not as fun.  Due to health reasons I got rid of them all, but still got a serious hankering to ride again.



You are still breathing and if you can slide into the saddle then let's go ride.

you might get some fenders on the marketplace ?    If ya ever got bumped off that seat with the bike in motion it could ruin your "Family-Plans"  ;)

How do the shocks work at that angle ... ?   I suspect they are not factory shocks  ?

Hay !   Tractor Supply has those little fenders made for "self-built-trailers" ? :-?

Post by Diamond T on 04/07/18 at 18:26:33

the shocks are still stock , i know i will have to increase the spring rate and dampening for me , but i bought it to teach my wife to ride and she is very short and light , have only run it around the parking lot at work to find i was blowing oil everywhere , have the engine apart now waiting on parts , i wil make a determination on the shocks once i have ridden more on the road to see if i bottom them out or not.

My '06 I've had for 6 years.  It has 28,548 miles on it of which I've put about 8,000 of those miles. Over those years, I've installed the raptor petcock, did my own tensioner mod (@25,500 miles), A seat lift of about 1 1/4 ",   de-snorkeled the airbox, installed a K&N drop-in filter, and drilled six 3/8 holes along the back edge on each side of the air box.  On the exhaust side, I've drilled 4  7/16 holes in the back plate of the muffler. I ported the exhaust side of the head removing most of the restriction. I was concerend about removing all the material all the way out to the exhaust gasket as I believe that the restriction does have a purpose combating  a reversion pulse as the exhaust gas exits the port and hits the restriction in the head pipe. I also tried to smooth that transition into the head pipe as best I could without burning through the inner pipe  :o  Prob. wasted effort but... . For the carb, I'm running a 55 pilot, the spacer mod @ about 40% of stock spacer and a 155 main. Idle screw is out about 3/4 turn. From the photo you can see that I've flipped the risers around to accomodate my long arms. Installed a Corbin seat, Progressive 412 shocks, and BikeMaster oval mirrors. The battery box and upper belt guard are plasti-dipped flat black.(lower guard is removed).  [edit]: I also have a Trail Tech digital Tach/Hour meter mounted on the handlebars between the risers. I just adjusted the spacers in the front forks to get a proper sag height. Loaded sag height was almost 50% of travel. Now closer to 30%. Much better but probably due for some new springs!  Next up may be a stage 3 cam and a custom header pipe.   :)

I need to do something with the exhaust, im just not sure what yet. Its pretty close to my battery so I may have to fab up a heat shield. Im not a big fan of the wrap though but I may try it. Maybe ill change my mind when I see it on the bike.

I appreciate the kind words, but its still a work in progress.

Pretty much finished my latest S40.
Got it about 6 weeks ago. Was dropped pretty hard with the left side scraped and a big bash in the tank.
Was all black but I don't really like black so I changed it up a bit.
I'm sure there will be more changes in the future but this seems like a good starting point..

Post by Darryl on 10/10/18 at 12:26:06

On my 13th birthday, in 1962, I bought a '55 Matchless G80CS 500cc single for $300 hard-earned cash (my farmer parents were very indulgent/naive).  I absolutely loved that bike despite its being broken down most of the time.  Over the years I have been fortunate to be able to recreate some of my favorite mechanical memories from my youth - a hotrod '32 Ford roadster and more recently a super rare hemi-powered '57 Dodge convertible to replace the one I traded the Matchless for in 1966 and then sold for $100.  I frequently considered getting another Matchless, but memories of its shortcomings kept me from doing so.  At one point I test-rode a Suzuki S40 but was disappointed in its performance.  Then recently I discovered 2 things - this forum and Rycamotors.com.  I saw what others were doing with these little gems and decided to see if I could sort of clone my old Matchless.
I started by picking up a very nice 5,000 mile 2013 bike for only $2,000.  I then got a few Ryca parts - air filter, handle bars, megaphone, chain conversion kit, Lucas-type taillight, fork boots - and of course the carb jets from Lancer and timing chain adjuster fix from Verslagen.  Then I picked up Italian alloy fenders, and repro Matchless fender stays from England. I hand fabricated lower fork mounts for the front fender stays, the upper front fender mount, rear fender mounts, and most difficult of all, moved the front mounted foot rests and controls to a rear position.  I was actually able to use the left side including the side stand with no change to the shifter linkage.  The right side required a lot of modification to the brake pedal and relocation of the brake light switch.
Future changes may include a Matchless gas tank and seat.  I plan to put "flying M" badging on it just to confuse folks.
I'm curious to see what readers on this site think.  I've tried to include photos but not sure I am doing that right.

Post by Darryl on 10/12/18 at 11:11:06

I was asked to describe how I moved the stock footpegs back.  I'll attach a photo of the adapter plates I made.  The odd looking piece bolts between the two side plates, plus has a leg that supports the muffler and relocated brake light switch.  The tubes and angled bracket on the left side bracket space the stock footpeg/sidestand out to clear the motor and are angled slightly forward to make the footpeg look right since the new plates are not actually parallel.  It required notching the aluminum drive sprocket cover and lower chain cover slightly, plus some grinding to the area around the top bolt of the stock footpeg bracket.  On the right side it was really tight getting the footpeg over the exhaust pipe and the brake pedal under it.  I ended up only using the oblong footpeg mounting hole and brake pedal shaft from the stock plate, the rest I fabricated.

Very nice - wish I had seen this earlier.  That high pipe would have saved me a lot of headaches when moving the footpegs back, but then my '55 Matchless had a low pipe anyway.  Love the seat and tank - I may end up doing that too.

The Matchless competition tank has real classic lines that you can pick out a mile away.  There are a lot of repo tanks on ebay.  The G80 engine uses a 1 3/4" pipe at a similar angle but I couldn't find a supplier in the US.  So $40 to mock it up.

Finally after two and half years my 2003 Savage/Ryca conversion is completed. Wish I could have completed it way sooner but with family, work and other things and fitting this between, it is what it is. Just happy it’s done, starts, runs and sounds really nice. Really cool kit and had a blast doing it. Just a shame winter decided to hit real early this year and just missed getting it out on a real run before the snow and cold came. So I guess I’ll look forward to its maiden voyage next spring. Happy riding all!

hi y'all! I just got my 2001 Savage last week. Heres the Savage the morning after I got it, in my backyard, we're in the suburbs of Pittsburgh PA. I love it! After owning and riding a couple of 70s Honda twins over the course of 3 or 4 years, and way too much wrenching time this is a breath of fresh air. The Corbin came with the bike.

Post by badwolf on 06/07/20 at 20:17:22

Welcome leoceg! Everyone has their own tastes, and ''needs'' in their bikes.
I have noticed most bobbers posted still have the stock rear tire (meaning very few miles ), and yours has been replaced meaning you actually ride it. A good thing.
But I have 2 questions, first no front disc, but you still have the caliper? I hope you do put it back on, no front brake at all is scary.
No rear fender at all? Again I think this picture is not the totaly finished product.
However you ride, ride safe!

Remember, THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE THAT WANTS TO SEE YOU GET HOME ALIVE IS YOU!

Post by leoceg on 06/14/20 at 19:07:04

badwolf you bring up some good points...
1. This bike is at 32k miles, few of which are mine lol but its still running strong.
2. While installing the front brake i had a hard time opening the caliper so so the missing front disk is temporary until i get that figured out. havent gotten around to it
3. as for the rear fender, im testing the waters and seeing how i like no fender... so far so good until i go through a puddle but i like the look. If i decide to add one, im thinking one attached to the swing arm with a sissy bar.
But you're right, its a work in progress so ill keep updated

 Last winter I was fortunate enough to find a '96 Savage on FB marketplace for $800, and after a number of mods and "improvements", got the bike to where I wanted.
 My Dad liked the bike so much, He ended up trading even up for my old '86 K75 that I had sold him a few years back. Funny thing is, the first two things he did were to raise the front back up 2" and put the stock bars back on. :D

http://https://i.postimg.cc/rwMVSfGb/20200401-121710.jpg

 Well, needless to say, I really missed the bike...a lot....  :'(

 This winter I found another '96 on FB for $900 and couldn't refuse. :o
 I work in a maintenance position at a window and door factory, so I'm no stranger to fabrication and modification, and here's what I have so far...Can't wait for Spring!!!

Mazdog, I like the look so far. I am interested on the rear fender. What did you use as the blank and how did you handle attachment. It is obviously on swingarm. I am looking to do something similar only attached to frame.

Title: Re: savage photos + let's see you and your ride!
Post by Mazdog on 01/20/21 at 23:54:09

 SoC, I can't remember where exactly I bought the fender...I think it was a $100 ebay special from 4 years ago that I had purchased for a CX500 build that I lost interest in. Ya, I wanted to attach it to the swingarm so I could get it closer the the tire.

I made another thread on the forum here--> http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1611215123

There you can see a few more details on the fender mounting.

So my buddy Glenn and I did a ride today around central Jersey, with a stop in Long Branch for lunch along the ocean. He on his BMW 1400 and me my '03'. Afterwards we stopped by my house where he took a photo, the first after many years of me riding, of me and one of my 2 Savage/S40's, in my driveway. Bike has a few mods and is getting a new blacked out exhaust very soon.

Coplin, I see the sailboat in the picture with your bikes, I would assume you are a sailor? Nice to think their are more folks who share similar interests.

Finally finished “Covid Bob” bobber project.
Unable to travel this last winter, I needed a project to keep me from going insane. This project kept me busy enough and I really learned a lot searching the internet and suzukisavage.com.  Many thanks to all the people posting great information on this web site.
This is a 2016 S40 that was not that well loved by the original owner. It had “been rode hard and put away wet” and had a low speed drop. Got it for $2000 canadian or about $1600 US. (13,000 km or 8,000 miles on the odometer) All in after selling the left over parts cost is $2600 canadian or about $2100 US.
All the changes are listed below:
-      Custom rear fender
-      Sportster frisco tank
-      Non vacuum petcock
-      Side mount license plate
-      K&N cone filter
-      K&N breather filter
-      Sigma speedometer / odometer (I would have preferred a traditional speedo but after trying 3 amazon made in china speedometers (none of which were even close to correct speed but odometers were bang on, I gave in to a digital speedo)
-      Painted rear shocks
-      Stainless long shot exhaust with baffle and packing
-      Titanium header wrap
-      Individual neutral, signal and high beam indicator lights
-      Small sidebag
-      Rear signals / brake lights
-      Front signals
-      Oval mirrors
-      9 Amp AGM battery installed under swing arm
-      Carb jets
-      Seat
-      “El Toro” bull skull
Weighs in at 333 pounds. Maximum speed is 138 kph or 86 mph. 80 to 100 kph (50 to 62 mph) time is 5 seconds in 5th gear. Speeds are bang on accurate with the sigma speedo. I set this up with a gps.
Don’t know how to add multiple pictures so I’ll add one here and 3 more under replies to this post.
Thanks everyone for your advice, random posts and inspiration.

I bought her last summer from a lady somewhere in her 60's, who's had her since new. All I have been doing is polishing, and replacing simple things like the sparkplug.

Here are me and my 2005 S40 that I got for a song.  It'll be a nice contrast to my SV1000

I owned a 2003 SV1000 some time ago. Fast and powerful!  Had it up to ~80mph a few times.  Steep steering angle was something I never got  used to. Sold it before I hurt myself.

I just got my 2004 Savage on the 23rd of this month, and I went and got tags, and insurance today, So even though it's cold and sloppy,I couldn't resist about a 10 mile ride. I took a picture before putting it away. I should have took it before when it was clean.

Anthony from South Lyon, Michigan. Bought a 1998 savage a month ago and just finished getting it running. I rebuilt the carburetor, put in the raptor petcock, replaced handlebars/grips/mirrors, and added a sportster headlight fairing. I got tons of information from this site between buying the bike and now and wanted to say hi and thanks!

You got everything right on that bike Mauts, IMHO.
The Savage is not known for it's smooth flowing lines, but you
completely overcame that with your mods.  
Well done, but not overdone.

Post by wheelbender6 on 04/16/22 at 15:20:16

I think using a Mustang seat and stock fender is what makes Maut’s bike look long and flowing. Drag bars help too.

This is my girl - I named her Gnatcatcher. I purchased her as a non-running project and was able to get her going using this site for reference and even purchased a rejet kit from a member here. Super thankful for this resource :)

Next on the to-do list:
- exhaust swap
- finish tank and fender bibs
- finish reupholstering a Vstar 650 single seat in tan leather to swap out

So far...  Replaced the rain funnel with a straight through glasspacked (Emgo?) muffler. I put several more good sized holes in the airbox--- it had a newer K&N air filter. Ended up With #50 idle jet, screw set at a little more than 1.5 turns. Did the white washer at 50%, and currently have the main at #155. Starts easily,  noticeable but not LOUD loud. Hardly any popping , some grumbling in exhaust on fast roll off. Seems to have really good torque! (I usually just ride around close to home for the first hundred miles or so, in case I need help. I haven't.) I put some low rise drag bars on, and added some orange popsicle paint. The front brake is mushy; I'll bleed and refill it, but I'm waiting for a new Galfer braided steel brake line. I did the Verschlagen cam chain mod, replaced the missing right side engine cover gasket and the gearshift shaft seal. The oil seems to be staying inside now. Overall, I'm lovin' it!

Before and after. I started riding last year and purchased a small Honda navi to learn. Early feb found this very ugly and beat up savage. I have been looking for a long time for a savage for a long time as I loved the single piston look. After a few months of painting, fixing oil leak and a chasing a fantom electrical issue (that turned out to be a bad luck with a few new batteries, bought a dud or two) I was able to get it out yesterday.

Got out for a beautiful 3.5 hour ride this weekend. Up Coal Creek Canyon to the Peak-to-Peak highway, over to Black Hawk and back down to Golden, CO. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend this ride.

Stopped at a casino to use the restroom and parked on the roof of the garage. They get a lot of snow there.

That’s a while without riding.
It’s about time you got back in the saddle.


After my first wife past away I had not plans to remarry, but you never  know so my thoughts were that if I did then the new wife needed to at least like to ride, if not ride herself.
Turns out there was another Mrs. waiting to come into my life and she came with helmet, leather jacket, leather gloves, and leather boots, and the dejected to ride.
God is good. [ch128526]
