Seems like the '95-'98 GSX-R 1100 has suitable sprockets and long enough chain to be fitted in Savage. Sprockets 16/44, leading to a ratio of 2.75:1, which is quite near the kawi front pulley mod.

Just bought a kit, cheaper than only the chain.

make sure there is no loose concrete in your driveway or buy a skidplate.

olden but golden -
keep a plastic bag handy - put over boot to enable smooth pulling on of overtrousers, keeping trousers clean and avoiding snaggy catching of heels and hopping round the car park like a mad person Cool

Here is a thought... My Savage gets about 48MPG and I travel in the Adirondacks with far and few gas stations... So thinking why cant we use a 64oz alum water bottle to haul spare gas just on the incase we run out... My only issue is I don't like saddle bags and have no clue where to mount the bottle...

This is the bottle I am considering... Now my next question so to speak... Is it risky to mount on down tube on the other side of the exhaust???

anything but an approved fuel container may get you a ticket.

Never thought of that... I could say its just water... Hmmmm Much to think about... I would like a larger 5 gallon tank but haven't figured out how to install a FATBOB on my Savage...

Something like this maybe. Made for fuel:

You could also get a fuel bottle from a camping store that's made for carrying fuel for backpacking stoves. I've got a couple and I'm sure they would work . They are a bit smaller though. 20 oz. I've carried them for years in backpacks without ever having a leak.

Look at TC-Brothers or Low Brow Customs. I think they sell the bottles and holsters too.

A 64 oz bottle might be a challenge to mount on a Savage unless you've got a rack to lash it to, or a tank or tail bag that's big enough.

I've seen some really manly men wear pantyhose in the oilfield. When it's cold, people will do what they have to.

Im a stripper from way back.

Dont think Ive seen a bike thread that I havent stripped. Not for me a gentle tweak of the spring washer, i sniff thread lock liquid with suspicion, and never believe my torque wrench.

Only good thing I suppose, is that ive learned how to insert helicoils ( lots of practice! )

The thing thats saved me ( apart from grudgingly accepting the readings on my torque wrench ) was the impulse purchase of a quarter inch drive tool set. I really only bought it because it looked so cute.

Ive always used a half inch drive socket set and the baby quarter inch really taught me the immense pressure i was exerting with my beefy socket set.

I think we use the term “stripper” differently in my country than it’s used in yours.

Heat guns work well for stripping.
