I have been looking through my manual and searching around the old posts, but what is the Dia. on the stock savage forks? I am looking for some clip ons down the road, and want to get an idea of whats out there in the right size.

Well, the title will still be a savage, and the motor, and a few parts of the frame, but the actual bike will be more of old school board track style like my avatar......

Oh Greg he's probably one of those young whippersnappers.

that picture is one I found on one of my old messageboards a few years back. it has pretty much been haunting me since. I recently finished my chopper build, and picked up a savage from one of my brothers really cheap so the next project begins... it wont be exactly like the one in the picture, but heavily inspired by it.

either way if I dont buld it, I will never get that image out of my dreams.

As for being a young whippersnapper.... I am not sure if 34 qualifies for whippersnapperdom, but I have always had an odd taste in my bikes, I dont believe in windshields, ride iron butt rides on a jockey shifting bobber with very little suspension and so forth. I just figure ride hard or dont bother.... and some days when my horrible arthritise acts up (both feet horribly bad, cant walk some days) of course that is the after effects of my younger days.....

I sometimes have that issue lol I am 6ft 4 and 280lbs.... I have a gut, just gonna have to build the frame right with belly room

OK, where did that bike come from??
And does anyone have a photo with standard handlebars?
