but you have 2 pages of photobucket pics of a stocker with a windshield.... and it still has the warning sticker on the tank?.... and you covered the license plate number?....
We all like what we like.... not that there's anything wrong with a stock bike, but it's creative ideas that are worth posting... we all know what a stock Savage looks like.

Yeah, seen one stocker (in each color) you've seen them all.
I won't go out and copy his bike. But there are some really nice ideas. Like who'd thunk to put the disk brake on the front pulley? And the rat trap pedals? The really cleaned up battery box, hardley know it's there (it is isn't it?) The copper coloring, wow.

Serowbot, I think they hid it in the swingarm area. At least that would be my guess.

Whether you like the bike or not, you really have to appreciate some of the things they've done on it. Especially knowing our bikes as we do. And I have to say, it really looks as good or better than the butt jewelery coming out of the Teutul family workshop.

Never said it wasn't creative, I just said it looked awful. Those pics of my bike were taken by the prev owner who loaded them on photobucket when he listed his bike for sale. He left the bucket acct up so i linked to them. What does it matter anyway if I have 1 pic or 1500 pics of my bike? I still think that custom job looks aweful..
I cant tell you why he covered the plate.. (paranoia?) I did remove the warning sticker though.

He followed his own vision. I like seeing big changes in the designs of bikes and how people struggle to make things better or more reliable. We have a few guys on this forum with as much if not more vision than he. Gene

The belt wouldnt jump in a panic stop any more than a wild start, the cogs are huge on this belt. I dont like the look he came up with, but I can certainly appreciate the labor that went into it. IOW, it aint for me, but Id sure stop & stare if it was parked where I could.

Reply #39 - 07/13/09 at 08:59:42 Yeah, if it can take a burnout or a wheelie, it will take braking too. It looks dangerous, though, but should work. That's a 50cc scooter front rotor bolted onto the pulley.
