I like it; but how does it looks as whole with the bike?
I think it overtakes the appearance of the front end!

Manxman, thanks for the link that works, I'm a moron with computers, must be an age thing. The gizmo between the handle bar clamps is a small clock and the thing above the front fender is a Superbrace. I'll post some more pictures on bikepics.

That is the Superbrace fork brace.  I love mine.

Ed,

What headlight is that and how much does something like that cost.  I really like that look.  Good job!

Looks awesome!  We need a bigger headlight almost as much as we need cleaner signal lights and fender rails!  Where'd you get it??  Marauder?

Thanks, glad you like it, I was a bit up in the air about it when I first put it on, it's a 9" long bucket, the more I look at it the better it gets. Got the headlight on E-bay for a bit over $100, cheapest I could find and way less than Metric Cruiser or J.P. Cycle. I was looking at the embossed flame style, real sweet but wanted to stay simple so went for the chrome. Installation wasn't that hard except for drilling out the harness hole in the bucket for all the extra wires Suzuki runs.

Headlight looks awesome. It appears to be a single bottom mount, how did you mount it on your Savage?
Thanks

To mount the headlight I drilled a 3/8 hole midway between the stock mounting holes. Then I took a piece of 1/4 inch thick flat stock about 3 inches long, drilled a 3/8 hole in it and ran the mounting bolt through everything. seems solid so far but need to put some miles on it before I'm happy. I'll take pictures if you want.
