Torque is the MAN PPL!  He painted my bike after I sanded it down to metal.  His dad, him, and me all made forward controls.  It was mostly Torque tho, and I learned alot just watching and helping.  I really know he needs to go to motorcycle school because he has alot of talent and skill.  I am very proud of the job he has done for me and I owe him a lot.  I am very honored to have him as my friend and I got to show you guys these pics of some of these projects.

here is a view of the top tank




here is a pic of the left side of the tank.  Check out the chrome door molding on the bottom of the tank on those seams.  Looks great.



Here is two full pics of the bike.





ok time for two pics of the controls





ok here is a pic of the back



ok I also changed all the lens to clear including the rear brake.  I then bought silver coated amber bulbs for the rear turn signals (1156),  amber LEDs for front (1157) and a red LED brake light.  If this wasnt enough I bought a rainbow strobe..  U attach it over ur h4 headlight bulb and it makes fruity colors. when u look into it and it cast a rainbow shadow a little.  U can only see it up close tho so hopefully I wont get pulled  8).



Did I mention that Torque was the bestest friend a guy could ask for?  Check out his bike too.  


Mine used to be that black turdy one in the background.   Thanks again Torque.

U ROCKKKKKKKKKKKK!  woo woo

Nice job guys!

awwww,i think i'm gonna cry :'(

those pictures dont to the paint justice,its PPG red pearl metalic red tint,i'm glad to be done with that project now i've got to find something to fill up the empty space in the shed 8)

Now where did the pics go???

yeah torque is right.  The pics dont do the paint ANY justice..  In fact it looks off, kinda coppery in the pics.  ITS RED hehe.  Darn digital cameras.  Takin pics at night are stinky.  Maybe Ill take some this weekend when its actually bright outside.

Yeah it only cost me and torque together $20.00 for the steel.  4 sections of 10 in by 12 in cut down.  Luckily his dad had a welder so we cut the shifters in half, welded a pipe between them and hooked them up.  For the brake I CANT remember exactly but it was a piece of flat steel.  Maybe Torque can fill that part in for ya.  We also grinded off the mount for the stock brake line and attached it to the steel.  

Thanks to Torque I got a bike to be proud of.  Oh and when I refer to we I mean Torque doing and me watching and learning.  I did hold some tools technically. hehe

Thats just an exelent job... really nice Savage

i could do that ,but both of our bikes were slightly diferent,as the bolts didn't line up.and only u can determine how far u really want your feet extended,some taller ppl might want them way out.

If anyone out there is willing to make me some forward controls I will pay you for them! If there are any handy people who have done them before and could do them again and want some $$ I would love to know! Please e-mail me at lshuty@yahoo.com if you would like to help me. Thanks guys!
