Hi guys and gals. I've been reading this site since I got my Savage about 4 months ago. I think I've read everything. Recently retired and looking to regain my youth. Last time I owned a bike was 44 years ago. Took and passed my test over a year ago and have been looking for the perfect bike (for me - 170 and 5'9"). Found it at a garage sale, yellow 2000, beaten up a bit but not too bad with a salvage title. I was looking for a project too and here it was! He wanted $1800 for it, I left it a week, and to my surprise he took $1000. 1950 miles on the clock too!! Spent about $450 on it (amazing how it mounts up when you order from a dealership). I've learned so much from you guys and I have to thank you so much for all the tips, pics, and just down right good info. Done the white spacer, mixture screw, stainless carb screws, petcock to on and off, K&N drop in, put some buckhorns on her, the seat mod. I received today my Mac Muffler - going to change the main jet to 155 - waiting for gaskets to arrive. Has anyone put a Mac on a 2000? Is that 1"x1" tab with a hole in it near the muffler joint for the heatshield? Stock heatshield doesn't fit. Another problem is the brake light switch cable that nestles right above the brake cable by the footrest behind header pipe. There is nowhere to hook the nipple to - am I missing a part or what? I know I saw something about this a few weeks ago but I can't find it now.
