New pics after my mods...
01/15/07 at 08:04:03

Well, I finally got finished with round one of my mods. New Fender (cut it, and painted it), seat, LED skull Tail light, made a side mount license bracket, front and rear LED turn signals, handlebars, and grips, Removed safety sticker on tank, and side cover stickers. Here are some pics. What do ya'll think?

Left Side:

Right Side:

Front:

Rear:

Going to do some pinstriping on the fenders, and maybe the tank, and see what I can do about the tank stickers .Thanks for looking

Tim

I'm adding it to my favorite Savage pictures. A couple of questions... How wide is that rear fender? Do your bars hit the tank at full lock? Thanks, John

Reply #3 - 01/15/07 at 09:36:56 That looks sharp. The red and black work well together. Those Z-bars look nice too. I'm looking at doing the side-mounted license plate also but only if I can illuminate it separately and have a centered taillight. Just a personal preference.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm really happy with how it came out.

To answer everyones questions:

@ Rockin_Jon: The fender is 7.5" wide.The bars do not hit the tank. There's about 3/8" betwee nthe bars and tank when at full tilt

For you guys looking for a license plate light, try ebay. Or you could also use the one that's on your bike now. The tail light and license plate light are wired seperately, so it'd be easy.

Here's a couple links to license lights, that I found in 2 minutes of searching ebay for you:

Reply #8 - 01/15/07 at 15:21:57 8)Very, very nice work! I absolutely love what you've done with your Savage! What brand are the LED directionals? Are they a direct swap and are the fronts still also running lights (as the stock blinkers were)?

Thanks for the info. I like your Kra-z-bars, but they are pretty expensive. Been looking at some taller cheap old school 70s Z-bars just to see what they'd look like. They're about the same width as yours, and seeing that yours don't hit gives me hope that these old ones wouldn't hit either.

Like the other poster, I'm really interested in a cat-eye under fender tail/stop, but I want to be seen, so leaving the light sticking out from under the fender a bit sounds like a good idea to me. I'd still uses some kind of running/marker lights on the sides too.

Anywise, Like what youv'e done... A LOT!!!

Thanks again.

@ Rockin_John,
I got all the stuff off ebay, cheap. The bars were only $40, so I snagged em up. They usually are closer to $100 (way too much for me)

@PerrydaSavage
I can't remember the brand of the LED turn signals. I'll look and see. The fronts are no longer running lights though. I got them on Ebay from Demon Cycles South. They also have a webfront store at http://www.demonscycle.com/

@ Tomohawk,
I got the seat off of Ebay. Did a search for slim line solo seat. It is a West Eagle brand solo seat. Got it from Lee's speedshop on Ebay. I think he also has a webfront store @ http://www.Leesspeedshop.com

Couple questions, is that style of seat comfortable for the long haul, and how do you go about installing something like that?
