Title: Almost Finished Post by paulmarshall on 12/19/12 at 19:41:27 Changed a few things around like turning the handle bar rises around. This has positioned me into a upright position which is much more comfortable. And I fitted new rear suspension. The bike is wonderful to ride. :D |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by jcstokes on 12/19/12 at 20:36:06 Very nice Paul, what's happened to the aircleaners and how did the WOF person react to the digital speedo set up? |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by paulmarshall on 12/19/12 at 21:12:28 It was my local bike shop who gives my WOF also supplied my Trailtech. ;) |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/20/12 at 17:23:14 Rowboats ride & that kinda purplish thing Demin did are the only ones I can think of that could sit next to it on equal footing, IMO. |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by ColoS40Girl on 12/22/12 at 05:24:29 Great looking scoot. It really is unique. Are you going to add any decals or custom paint to the bike? |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by irondad01 on 12/22/12 at 05:43:23 Good looking bike. I really like white bikes. Carl |

Yes I would like to. Not sure what colour/color. Just brought a Black & white helmet so maybe keep with that scheme. Open for suggestions. |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by WD on 12/22/12 at 10:42:37 You're going to make a black and white customized police version? Cool... My farmhand has pics of an early CB450 police package he used to own... I'll have to see if Lisa knows how to scan and post them. Looks good so far. |

Hmm, I dont really want to resemble the Police. :-/ Maybe a third colour/color is needed? |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by WD on 12/22/12 at 12:16:11 Green and gold on white? No, that's most county sheriff colors... Reversed color Jolly Roger maybe? Snow leopard spots (gray and black on white)? Alpenjaeger camo? |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by arteacher on 12/22/12 at 12:23:10 Get you a pair of older style Suzuki tank emblems in the gold colour.http://www.reproductiondecals.com/default_frameset.html?content.html~main Scroll down to ST 10 in the Suzuki tank badge section. I would do some brass plating on stuff too. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by jcstokes on 12/22/12 at 13:42:50 Maybe add decals, if you wish Paul, the bike is so clean, virginal and pure that it perhaps should be left as you have done it. It is a beautiful sight to behold. Particularly the headlamp. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by SALB on 12/22/12 at 19:42:15 Still think of "Mister Clean" every time I see it! ;) Some von dutch style pinstiping would certainly set it off. :) |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by paulmarshall on 12/22/12 at 23:03:58 I did the rise the front seat mod today. I used Rubber door stoppers and longer bolts. Because I have a custom tank I cut the tank mount off the original tank and used to mount seat. This mod does improve sitting comfort when riding. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by paulmarshall on 12/22/12 at 23:09:07 Front seat lift |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by LANCER on 12/23/12 at 03:08:16 That is a very practical solution. Nice. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by verslagen1 on 12/24/12 at 09:21:06 Might be tempted to nickname it the white knight. But simply the white horse could do as well. |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/25/12 at 14:34:23 http://www.peterolsenart.com/The%20White%20Horse.jpg Name your white horse Paco,, short for Apocalypse.. PLenty of good white horse pics online you might consider having a decal of made for it. Or, all white is Great, truly striking monochrome approach. Maybe in a few years add a touch or two? So many ways to go with it with a start like that. Enjoy as is till your heart says it needs somethin new..surely in a coupla years youll look at it & "see" some pinstriping or some kinda art on the tank or a small "hood ornament" on the fender. |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by jcstokes on 12/25/12 at 23:07:38 Paul, I would be very much inclined to leave well alone. If you must, add some aesthetically pleasing Suzuki ID. Pinstriping won't help and I feel will compromise the purity of the bike. Be very wary of expressions such as "cool" or "badass". |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by Rogue_Cheddar on 12/26/12 at 08:50:46 Very nice scoot. The only thing that I would do to it would be to ditch the chrome head covers. I like the gnarly old engine look, but that's just me. Your bike is definitely rockin it! :D |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by Super Thumper on 12/30/12 at 20:44:10 Looks like my old Sportster with a cylinder missing! |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by zubking on 01/04/13 at 16:37:48 Hi everyone, I used to be on this forum back in 2003 when I got my first street bike a 2001 savage. I have had 7 bikes since then but still have a warm spot in my heart for the thumpers. Anyway I wanted to say very nice job paulmarshall, that is one awesome looking bike good job!! :) |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by diamond jim on 01/04/13 at 17:33:50 Super sweet bike. The details are awesome. On the work table, is that a T-shaped dual side intake you made for the bike? I say slap an Alabama Crimson Tide decal on each side of the tank and run a crimson racing stripe along both fenders. Now that would be unique in your country. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by paulmarshall on 01/06/13 at 11:11:23 Thinking I might go back to original tank? |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/06/13 at 12:25:29 aww hush up & ride that thing a while..YOure gonna mess with it till ya scratch it up or somethin.. |

;D doing a 600km road trip this weekend & need more than a 120km tank range :-[ So back to the stock tank for long trips 8-) |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by jcstokes on 01/06/13 at 16:27:18 For someone with your skills Paul, you have both options which makes good sense. Stock tank for longer rides, other tank for shows and short rides. The stock tank is fine on the bike. Make sure you have a Raptor on the stock tank to avoid scratching things. Dare I risk saying you could put S40 sidecover badges on the stock tank, but leave the other tank alone. |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/06/13 at 18:01:17 I think some of the older Savage tank decals were nice lookin,, just sayin,., |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by prsavage on 01/07/13 at 09:20:08 If you are asking for opinions, I think the Savage tank is the wrong choice. The bike looks way better in your first pic. |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by ironhorseprop3 on 05/08/14 at 02:06:32 Is it paint or powdercoat on the exhaust? Also great job on the build, the white is classy and stands out from the sea of black bikes. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by paulmarshall on 05/10/14 at 20:18:37 Sorry for the late reply. The exhaust is painted. Its back off the road at the moment getting a new look. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by jcstokes on 05/10/14 at 22:28:05 The exhaust or the bike? |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by paulmarshall on 05/10/14 at 22:30:43 The bike. |
|
Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by jcstokes on 05/11/14 at 02:36:38 Hmmmm |

Title: Re: Almost Finished Post by dhsmithh on 04/02/15 at 15:05:33 love the white |
