All of this happened about a month ago, but I had not been able to take pictures... (Paladin) CU, RW

Well, I have never liked the stock rear light, it's too bulky for my taste...

Those pictures are missing my windshield which I use in cold weather, and maybe some saddle bags I've been longing for... but not sure yet, I like the clean look, too...

Best,

RW

I always envisioned the 400cc Savage as having a smaller looking engine. After seeing it for the first time, it appears the engine is the same as the 650. Do you know what the bore and stroke is?
