Title: My '05 S40/Savage
Post by nickthe_human on 09/01/14 at 14:35:28

Just did more changes to my bike, so I thought I would start a "build" thread instead of having multiple ones all over. More than anything, so I can share pictures, though. ;D

First off, heres my bike when I first got her last year:

She's been through a few different changes, just minor stuff. new turn signals, removing front fender, new handlebars, easy stuff. Then I tried struts, but had to go back to shocks, though I chopped them down about an inch.

Over the past week I made me a new sissy bar, had my new tires put on and painted the tank and fender. Not 100% happy with paint job, but it was a fast thing just to change it up some before a trip this Labor Day Weekend.

And now....some pictures:

I also put a Harley Dyna muffler on. A lot quieter and smoother sounding. I don't feel like i'm disturbing everyone in a 5 mile radius now.

And here's some shots from my ride back yesterday. Perfect weather.

Thanks guys! My grandpa and dad helped a lot with the bar. As well as everything else. Nice to have people who know what they're doing around ;D

I'm digging the whole spray bomb look that you've given the bike to make it your own. I did a quick spray bomb job on mine over 5 years ago and it's still holding up, but I really want to strip it down and start all over. I've seen so much more that can be done with spray bombs than I ever imagined since then.

Yea, I am already wanting to change it. Theres so many options and choices and I ended up just doing something spur of the moment and unlike anything I had thought about lol. The only thing I don't like is the rear fender is a pain to get on and off, and I can't change the back end of my bike due to my wife riding with me sometimes.
