Have ALL of you guys got the standard savage light?
Oh i thought i would also just mention how brittle the stock savage top yoke is, when i was removing my original front end, i hit the top yoke with a hammer just a bit as it was being stuborn comming off, and smash! (yes smash) it shattered into 5 or 6 peices like it was glass, just a heads up for ya all... It was OK for me as I had alreaddy decided to scrap my old stock front end

Next, is that "futuristic" Jestsons-style headlamp ... those rectangular ones kinda blow ... but that's just my taste ...

No, I don't run the stock headlight. Mine is off a 1987 Honda CMX450C (Rebel vertical twin). My stock light snapped in half right above the bolts. Handlebar mounted toolroll bounced, well, REALLY bounced. I came tearing into the yard, locked up the brakes on the wet lawn, and hit a telephone pole sized pecan tree. Roll Eyes

But I though the stock headlight was cheesy, so it didn't bother me very much.

If anyone wants to try thr 450 Rebel headlight, DON'T. You can't adjust them enough to not spotlight treetops on the right hand side of the road. Worked great on the Rebel, look great/works lousy on the Savage.

I cracked up for 2 min non-stop after reading this. funny stuff not that I mean you hitting the tree was funny it is just the way you put it so nonchalant as if you were out to get the stock light. 8)

Just something"off" about a tucked in headlight. Guess my HD roots still show. -WD

But it's all right, now,
I've learned my lesson well,
See, you can't please ev'ryone,
So you got to please yourself.

Wow, Paladin... all the way back to Ricky Nelson. Garden Party... nice.

Oh, and I'm normally partial to a single headlight but of the three shown, I think the first looks best.
