Quote:Impressive. Savage envy is here. So, let's talk about it.
Now, what is the biggest reason for the extra brace? ..... THE PLATE WAS WELDED IN PLACE TO PROVIDE THE NEW BACKBONE EXTENSION A SOLID BASE TO WELD ON TO, AND IT ALSO STIFFENS THE BACK END OF THE FRAME HELPING TO ELIMINATE ANY FLEX. ONCE THE BACKBONE EXTENSION WAS IN PLACE THEN THE SIDE BRACES COULD BE CUTE AND MOVED BACK DOWN CLOSER TO THE BACK END, THUS MAKING ROOM ON THE BACKBONE FOR THE TANK. THESE PROCEDURAL STEPS KEPT THE FRAME SOLIDLY IN LINE BEFORE THE SIDE BRACES WERE CUT AND REWELDED.
Why did you choose a trailing axle front fork setup?.....I WAS TRYING TO GET THE BRAKE CALIPER TO MOUNT ON THE FORKS AND STILL LINE UP WITH THE DISC ... STILL WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. DO YOU WANT ME TO TURN IT AROUND ?
Is the rear wheel off center in photo #14, or is it just thrown in there for the photo? ...YES, OFF CENTER, ANOTHER ISSUE TO WORK ON
What size is the rear wheel?.. 16" ... STOCK SPORTY WHEELS
Where did you get that solo seat? ... SEAT CAME FROM "STRANGELING"
Are the seat springs double coils?.... SINGLE COILS, BUT I DO HAVE 3 SETS OF THEM. 2", 3" & 5" . I SUPPOSE I COULD COMBINE THEM
Is that an LED tail light? .... YEP, GOT IT AT A TRUCK STOP ON THE WAY TO OKLAHOMA FOR $16.95 AND IT IS A BIG SUCKER TOO WITH GIANT LED'S
Is the rear brake stabilizer made by Craftsman? ... ABSOLUTELY ... GUARANTEED FOR LIFE !
Do you have a bunch of cam chains in that briefcase? ... NO, THAT IS WHERE I KEEP MY
GOLD BRICKS.
What does Beverly think about a motorcycle in the bedroom? ......... SHE LIKES US TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE TOGETHER AND WITH THE BIKE IN THE LIVING ROOM WE ARE TOGETHER MOST OF THE TIME. I DID IT JUST FOR HER
BESIDES, WHEN I GET TIRED I JUST GRAB A COUCH PILLOW AND TAKE A NAP UNDER MY BIKE ... SHE THINKS IT IS CUTE
