Some pictures of my beast...
06/02/05 at 20:01:51

1997 Savage. I bought it a month ago with 12,500 miles on it. I've put 100 miles on it just putting around. The bike already had the idle mixture screw drilled out. So far I have added the risers and drag bar, removed the front fender and sissy bar and raised the seat about an inch. What do you guys think?

Check out the sweet oil leak!

Notice the new Drag Specialties 4" Risers and Drag Specialties Drag Bar.

That is the Jardine Pipe that came with the bike.

BE CAREFUL!!! That tailpipe is HOT!

Some of us have gotten the heat shield from JC Whitney...it appears Glock has one installed just in front of the Jardine in the pictures. And, yes, the current flared shield is gonna look funky in front of your new S.E. muff...here's a link to the JC Whitney heat shield...

Reply #6 - 06/03/05 at 07:54:55 Not that it'd help the muffler area but the exhaust wrap really does insulate the header pretty well. I still haven't made up my mind as to whether I like the look though. After I put everything back together, I'll post a pic.

(I did note that the little 7" shield is exactly the same as the JC Whitney shield that I bought. So, I have to assume it's the same quality too...) Tom
