I haven't been able to get out on it yet, as it's 20 degrees here in OH. I think it'll be fine though, just from sitting around on it. I didn't install any springs, as the suspension is just about right underneath the seat, and I like the look of the seat sitting low. If it's too rough of a ride (which I don't think it will be) I'll add a set of short springs under the seat.

I made brackets to attatch it. Bent steel into "<___>" and attatched it to the seat brackets on the frame. Then attatched a straight piece up front and attatched it to where the tank mounts. fairly easy with a vice and a torch

Nice job, 5 points! It looks great....

Once my kids get too big to haul around (comfortably) on my savage, I'm going to do something similar and get a large cruiser solo seat.

What part of Columbus are you in? Have you ever ridden up route 3 towards Mt. Vernon? Awesome ride..... (My parents live outside of Loudonville, so I get the pleasure of that ride every time I go to visit...)

Great job on the paint too.....

I also love what you've done to your bike. I prefer drag bars over the ones you have, but thats just my preference. I did put a set of similiar bars on an old 60's BSA 500 twin that I customized way back in my high scool days (class of '72). Back then they were called "Z bars". Mine were a little higher. But your bikes looks great!!

Kingcrowofoctober

If I remember correctly, Five_Points was selling the bike last fall. I have not seen any posts from him in quite a while. Five _Points was the member that pointed me to e-bay to get my one of "Savagalope" bars that adorn my bike. Hutch

I really like the look. I would make a bobber outta Bull, but if I did, how would I strap bags on for a trip to the store or, when it starts getting cold, haul the extra clothes for evening or, like now, this time of year, hauling rain gear & a jacket for that rain storm that pops up from outta nowhere.
IF I could figure a way to slap bags on & take them off I would make these mods.
