My wife keeps coming out to the garage to ask me if I'm ok. I'm just sitting there staring at my bike. Well, if I can't come up with a good reason to take a ride, then I can at least look at it!

Usually, I'm thinking of the next mod for it... I've already got the Sportster seat, turnout muffler, saddlebags, and getting ready for paint. I wonder what it would look like with a bigger tank! Grin

Re: addiction Reply #18 - 10/08/06 at 18:50:51 I often wander into the garage to look at my savage too, especially if the weather has been bad and I haven't been on it in a few days. At work, I have been known to peek out of the window just to make sure my bike is safe and sound. I teach at the opposite end of the school, where I like to park it.

crap,
it didn't work again !
I wanted to comment on my passenger backrest.
I cut out approximately an inch and a 1/4 of the foam and resewed it together. Looks kind of cheesy up close but that inch and a 1/4th really allows more room for me and my better half. It's noticeably more comfortable as she is no longer pushing me and my cojones into the tank.

Also if you look closely at the clutch arm you'll see a dark verticle spring that i hooked onto the muff clamp to allow the cluth handle to
"snap"back into position.
I found even after new clutch plates and cable it was still sloppy enough that I had to literally push the handle back in between shifting. I'll probably put a chrome or black spring there instead of the rusted one eventually.
