1) Inspect Cam Chain, possible cam chain mod.
2) Chain Conversion
3) Move the heat sink to air box.
4) Build a stand to raise the wheels to waist level - I don't mind stooping down, it's the straightening back up that's painful
5) Paint the rims - replace the spokes with black SS
6) Paint tank, fenders, side covers.
7) Install LED side markers for more blinkers - some people just don't see me changing lanes.
8) Winter tuneup: Battery, oil, filters, spark plug.
9) Fine detail cleaning - like 3 rolls of paper towel cleaning.

If I could get 2 of those things completed, It'll be a good winter.

I just ordered a kerosene heater (24k BTU) and a quartz infra red heater (5k BTU) for the garage. I plan on firing up the kero heater so I can install the quartz heater - it needs to be hard wired. I'm installing the quartz heater directly above the space I have cleared to work on the Savage. If I can keep it up to 50 degrees in there, I can work all winter long. I'm hoping the quartz heater is all I need, with the kero heater for help warming up the slab. From what I read, most of the heat in a garage gets sucked up by the slab, if I can warm that up, I should be OK.

All and all, I can devote about 4 hours a week to the machine, but I work slow. The winter ends for me on March 1st, so what ever dont get done, will either get pushed off a year (ie, paint), or done durring the season (tune up).

Well, IF I can get the Kawa W 650 on down here, my wife has agreed to ride the Savage.. IF Ill make it a trike. So, if Mike will guide me along, maybe Ill build a trike. The Savage tank will be okay, small as it is, because I really dont see my wife running it a lot. Maybe Ill be surprised by her & maybe we will ride further than I am expecting. Just have to see how it goes.

I rode a Honda 3 wheeled offroad machine & the solid rear axle, fat tires & all together, it didnt want to turn. How big of a deal is it on a road trike? Is there a differential involved? Im gonna have to get a real fast education.

'02 Savage with a new fixed and repainted tank

-paint or wrap the exhaust system
-create metal iron crosses to place on sides of the tank
-add sheep skin to new one piece seat i just bought
-dye the sheepskin black
-mount the new seat
-10" mini ape hanger
-replace rear blinker (chrome plastic broke as did the black rubber part)

03 Savage  currently like 5100 miles
I've only had the bike for like 800 miles.

1) Chance oil and oil filter
2) Put on Dyna Muffler
3) Re-jet
4) White spacer mod possibly
5) Detail and coat some of the metal items with a rub of WD40
6) Check/clean spark plug
7) Clean polish and wax tank
8) look into getting a cone filter
9) Check forums for other mods or upkeep I can do  

Anything else you guys think I should do?

I am trying to push the frontier of Savage knowledge ahead while pushing  and my butt further back by fitting a used Corbin Sportster seat on my 2005 S-40

Does hibernation count?

Waiting for the sun to melt the ice on the corner, and currently getting dressed to ride in this:
34° F
Flurries
Feels like 27° F
From NNW 8 mph
Not bad, but have a feeling that I'll be surrendering soon, and will be riding down to my Mom's house to work on the bike in her garage. Oil leak first and foremost. Then the front bake pads and rotor, spark plug and wire and anything else that needs changing. Have to get this tank taken care of also.

It's been a great riding season for me, with only one time stranded and that was a dead battery that only took a jump to get me home. When I bought this bike in March, being that it's an 87, I never would have thought that I would have around 5000 miles of problem free riding ahead of me. Talk about bang for the buck. As a gesture of gratitude, I may just clean every inch of her.
