Lotzbub's Savage is amazing. I've never seen a back wheel like that on a Savage. All the details work very well visually. Looks like a very expensive showbike, which brings me to another thought... How expensive would it be for Suzuki to make a bike like that? Victory is selling LOTS of custom bikes for mucho $$$ & Honda is now making a ton of custom accessories for the VTX line. Seems like there might be a market for people who want a great looking custom bike but don't want to spend $15,000+ for it.

Back when the LS650 came out I took the GS750 in for tires and maintanence and sat on a new LS650 w/ the same paint as Lotsbubz 1st or 2nd year?)and loved the "fit". Everyone was going away from spokes in the 80's and I prefered the "retro look" then.

Depends how handy you are and how much you can do yourself. A bike like that could be done for 1/2 that, including the purchase of a clean low miles stocker. You must be able to do most mods yourself, you take it apart do the mods and reassemble.
Say 2500 for a bike, 1500 for pro paint & coatings, ( Lotsbub's appears to be Suzuki original Candy red w/ 1st gen, graphic; my fav) 2000 for parts, 1000 for chrome. You can reshuffle the budget to fit your needs.

I love that gold flake look. A long time ago (way longer than I want to count back), I saw a checker cab (don't laugh it actually looked cool when completed) done in gold flake with about 50 coats of clear (back before clear coat). The paint looked like the color was at the bottom of a lake. You couldn't hardly look at the car in the sun it was so bright. Had a chevy nova that was painted gold metal flake, but not quite the paint job the checker got.
