Pictures of my Savage In Progress
04/10/08 at 13:19:48
Here are the newest pictures of my 1986 Savage in progress.
NEWEST CHANGES
Just finished the Brake light Modification. It took some hunting to find a size that would fit snugly and some metal/work to get the brackets sized right.... I think it came out pretty clean. Also I put 2005 Rear chrome strips to remove the ugly rear backrest holders, I also added clear turn signals.
Next is to replace the front turn signals & get a new paint job!!!
List of mods:
Harley Seat Conversion
Harley Screamin' Eagle Turnout Slashcut Muffler
Side Mount License Plate with built in white LED (so it's legal)
Modified Brake Light to fit under rear fender
New Bars
New Diamond / Skull Grips
New Flame Teardrop Mirrors
Chrome Aftermarket rear Turn Signals (glow amber)
2005 Rear Fender Chrome strips to remove ugly backrest brackets
Spacer Mod in Carb
Head Plug Replaced and fixed
Cone Intake Filter
maybe something I forgot to list?
Let me know what you guys think. any ideas on a paint scheme? Thanks,
Superior

Very nice. Have you considered replacing the stock muffler heat shield?

Yes I have considered it. Any recommendations on where to get a light weight one?

Thanks, The rear tail-light was hard to find a lens that would fit snugly. I rode my bike to several after-market shops to find it. It was too deep so I had to cut about 1 inch of the red lens cover then make custom brackets to fit underneath the fender. I think it came out real good. Streamlined and clean looking.
Any ideas on a color scheme? I'm thinking about repainting it either new black with some kind of airbrushed design. Or a real cool midnight candy purple (deep tones) looking black at night and deep purple in the daytime? In your opinion what should I do?
I also just finished polishing the engine cases. They came out real good, in the pictures they have gotten kinda dirty, but some easy light buffing and they will be nice and bright again!

Your bike looks good!
Paint job-Purple with silver accents(See the pic on front of the J&P Cycles latest Cruiser Catalog
Are the Harley Sportster seats wider than the stock Savage seat? It looks like it,in the pic!
(Wow...that was strange.I was typing my post and hadnt seen yours yet....about painting it Purple!!) I like your description of the Purple paint! Sounds like it would be perfect!

One of the nicer looking mods: Sporty seat and S40 fenderrails. Taillight looking good too.
Suggestion for your front blinkers: at the handlebar ends ( I did).
Keep those mods comming

Very, very nice! Love the tail-light mod ... wanna do someting like that with my S50 ... what kinda Bike is it off of?
Also love the Sportster bars & seat!
Agree with replacing the stock heat shield ... Dennis Kirk or J & P Cycles carry some aftermarket ones I think? a chromed flame cut-out shield would look good on there!
Paint? Well since you're heavy into the mod process, how 'bout a nice flat-black Bobber job ... with some cool red 'n white pinstripe accents?

Nice! Love the turn signals and brake light. My favorite by far is the Sportster seat. Was the "Seat Conversion" a kit that you found or something that you did yourself? My big butt doesn't feel very comfortable on the stock seat.
I've been looking at the gel seat that Suzuki offers, but it's still the same width. If you got it somewhere online, please provide a link if you can dig it up.
