Seat ! looks more like a couch to me.
Personally I find nothing wrong with the savage seat,and at my age the old a$$ is getting a bit boney,never had a problem.

Reply #20 - 11/22/08 at 10:04:39 Up to 100 miles I really have no issues with the stock seat either. I picked up the air ride seat at a great price and I've been working on a quick change system from stock to air ride & back. It certainly is a big seat, but remember that it was designed for a policeman who spends 2 hrs a day eating donuts

removing the savage engine and putting in a 406cc diesel engine and converting to run on waste veggie oil. To do that I need to go chain drive. As long as Im doing that Im switching to cast wheels from a gs450. Anyone interested in the diesel/wvoproject go to http://diesel-bike.com/Diesel_Bike/Suzuki.html Im essentially doing this very same thing with the savage and then taking it one step further. Luckily I don't think I'll have to cut up the frame like Crazy Jerry did.

Unfortunately, the same project started last winter: make a brand new Daisy.

1) Remove the oil leak
2) New belt
3) New throttle cable
4) New tires
5) New rear fender & taillight
6) New tank (mine tank has many dents)
7) New paint

I need too much money to invest in this project, money that currently I do not have! Without forgetting that in Italy the parts are sold only through Suzuki dealers and they cost a lot.

So i think that this project will be the next winter project!
Another summer without Daisy... Sad
