Title: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by EJID on 04/30/12 at 15:07:07 Saw this on another forum and had to show the pics/story here...was from a bike show in Brooklyn this last weekend. In the photographer's words, not mine. "It's a fully custom 650cc single. They guy built everything from scratch and it looks amazing. There was a swarm when this guy pulled up and I think he's going to be the feature for next monts issue of Cycle Source Mag." http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg252/scaled.php?server=252&filename=img2390o.jpg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg36/scaled.php?server=36&filename=img2392d.jpg&res=landing Hand shifter and throttle! http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg192/scaled.php?server=192&filename=img2388gp.jpg&res=landing Honda Rebel shock "springer" http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg196/scaled.php?server=196&filename=img2387se.jpg&res=landing Custom Tanks made from overflow tanks from a triumph I think. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg594/scaled.php?server=594&filename=img2389d.jpg&res=landing |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by arteacher on 05/01/12 at 04:12:57 Not sure I would be comfortable operating the front brake with one hand off the bars. |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by verslagen1 on 05/01/12 at 07:50:22 :o savage makes a hot board tracker 8-) musta been something in the rules... use as much stock as possible. |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by Savage_Rob on 05/01/12 at 08:38:31 Stock headlight too. And stock front brake, though the wheel is flipped over. It does look interesting but not comfortable and pretty short range too. |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by PerrydaSavage on 05/01/12 at 14:38:07 Awesome fabrication work gone into that Bike! It is so cool to finally see the LS650 gaining some actual Street Cred with the Custom Motorcycle community! 8-) Of course, we knew the LS was cool all along! :) |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by Stimpy - FSO on 05/01/12 at 14:54:33 oh my I love steam-punk and I love savages, nice ...wonder how it handles. -------------------------------------- Did anyone noticed the front brake fluid reservoir is next to the front pulley? And how the decompress is now an old manual kitchen mill handle and the clutch some old garden tool handle or something, cool. 8-) |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/03/12 at 07:50:08 I dont think I have enough hands to clutch & shift , Im real sure Id be in a bind in traffic, wanting to feather the front brake, catch a gear & swap lanes,, it looks good, no doubt, & yea, steampunk is cool, but that thing is dangerous, I really dont see how to clutch & shift, I see the clutch, I see the shifter, I just dont see makin em both happen at the same time, You have any idea how much control over the brake & clutch levers come from having the arm & hand braced on the bar, & lever position controlled by finger position relative to the palm? Hit a bump while the front brake is being used,, no biggy,, because youve got control of the lever, put your arm off the bar, & suddenly, that bump takes the control of the lever away from your fingers,, your arm is flopping around, clutch, same story.. cool looking, bad idea, |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by Stimpy - FSO on 05/03/12 at 14:54:04 where is the front brake now? on the left foot where the gears used to be? |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by Serowbot on 05/03/12 at 16:52:49 That's gotta' be one busy left hand... :-?... |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by Starlifter on 05/03/12 at 18:40:44 Meh, I like a motorcycle to at lest kind of look like a motorcycle...yeah maybe it would be cool in a show or a bike-night kind of thing. But for general trips and just plain riding, not so much. :-? |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by WD on 05/06/12 at 04:37:45 Interesting... not my kind of bike (at all) but interesting none the less. |
|
Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by Fish on 05/06/12 at 08:03:49 That does look really cool. But it is definitely more for showing than going. The stock foot pegs caught my eye right off the bat, too. |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by Bubba on 05/07/12 at 08:04:37 it looks as if that exhaust runs right over the belt...I know on my bike the brake cable takes the hit but I don't think I'd want my belt to...just sayin' |

Title: Re: Very Custom Savage!!! Post by mybtr on 05/12/12 at 13:30:30 Nice! Looks like a bicycle! |
