Savage from Norway
01/22/09 at 02:01:53

Hey, i just bought this Savage for a small amount of money.
Its an -86, with 17500 miles on the road. Runs good, and in good condition

But - i dont like how it looks now, so its getting bobbed in the next coming weeks. New rear fender, soloseat, new paint, custom exhaust, etc... And i need a new frontend, preferably an original one. This one got way to much rake in the trees. So if anyone has an original frontend for me for cheap, i would really like to buy it (have shipping adress in New Jersey, USA).
Or does anyone know if i can use an frontend of an Harley? I have lots of them....

Engine has a small leak between head and sylinder, but i guess its just a blown gasket?

Changed the apes to a dragbar, one mirror only, new grips. Reversed the "homemade" pegs extensions, removed the fugly stickers on the tank, and the front fender. Starting to look like another bike already Looking forward to get another rear fender and seat on it.

Gonna start working on sanding the parts i`m keeping later today - paint is coming soon

Picked this thing up for $1000 with the same leak you described. Fixed that and rode it around for a couple months. Then dropped a valve so while rebuilding the motor I took the opportunity to do all this--

I can check shipping for the frontend - but i would need an original front before i can let it go.

I can check shipping for the Sissybar to, i dont need it. Its a cool looking sissy though..

Was experimenting with paint last night. Did a silver base on the tank and sidepanels, and topped it of with purple candy. Not finished yet, need more layers of clearcoat, and maybe some lettering on the tank etc.... I`ll post pics later.

I dont know the exact weight of the sissy, but it looks like shipping would cost somewhere around $80 to USA. I`ll post a better pic of the sissy to, its very nice.,

Maybe we could do a little trade off. Do you know the measurements for the rake and overstock tube lengths on your front end?

It might be a way to do it. I`ll have to do some measurements though, i dont know exactly how long and what the rake is.
