Just wanted to pop in and smile.
After months of tinkering, exploring, waiting for parts, scratching my head, and all the sleepless nights, the savage is back together.....for the most part. All the critical parts are on, no pretty crome or covers... BUT IT RUNS. I was so afraid I would have to take it to a shop after splitting the crankcase. By golly, the first time I take an engine apart and put it back together, it works....Kind of in my own little high right now. Pictures in a couple days, sorry. I need a real break from that bike. Have to make it up to the wife for all the time spent. I won't be touching it for a while. Back hurts, hands hurt, hands black, knees hurt too.....So if anyone needs advice in opening up their bikes.....I've been there and back.
