Howdy all...  I have been riding a long time, and have two Marauders.  (One when I live and one where I work...  Texas, and Jersey.  The commute is hell)  And for Christmas I got a bike for the woman with bad enough judgment to love me.    After sitting on everything we could find, we got a 95 Savage.  She is loving it, and riding more every weekend.  But...  It has issues...  Some of the fellow MIGs told me to come here, and the lurking has been handy.  (Already got a HD muff...)  But time to ask questions and buy parts, so here I am.

Hi folks I'm known as rusty. I'm from Nova Scotia, a tech at a car dealership ( don't judge I work there don't have a say in policy). My first ride was a honda 50 from there to a kawaski 440 ltd....... 20 years of life getting in the way I'm back in the saddle. Bought a used 04 savage and you can't beat the smile off my face.

here's how to post pic's...

I am Kristen from Massachesetts. I bought a 99 Savage last august and love her. I got her before i got my license and MSF class done.  We have been down a couple times but she is a trooper just like me. I put 400 miles on her in the short riding season here. I am looking forward to alot of great times with her.

Good morning Riders, Builders and Enlightened Ones,

I have a ’72 Dunstall-Norton which has sat for many years.  As you might surmise, I too, have sat for many years.  Peer pressure has made me commit to a rebuild of the ’72 which will start late this summer or early fall, when my shop is weather tight.  This rebuild will take at least a year or two and I desire to ride in the mean time; not just to ride but to take on another project.  That project is to be a café racer in the 50’s / 60’s British style but inexpensive, reliable and possessing a large single cylinder.  Of course the obvious choice is the Savage.   I obtained a ’96 at favorable pricing and joined the ranks of the privileged.

In searching out sources of information I came upon you fellows.  I was disappointed to find that I was not the trend setter I had hoped to be and that there were pioneers before me but I rejoiced for the same reasons and for the fact that I would have guidance.

My Suzi is in transit as we “speak” and will arrive at “home” Monday morning.  She is pretty yellow, has 10K miles and saddlebags.  There is a small leak at the front of the cylinder where the head meets the jug, a small electrical challenge that prevents the signals from operating as designed (they won’t light up) and of course a gentle backfire (like a burp) upon shutdown.    

I hope a re-torque of the head will cure the leak; replacing a relay, the electrical issue and the backfire as explained within these pages.
