Wanted things for the Savage ?
06/01/09 at 19:05:16
 
What are the parts you want but they dont make, or what part of the bike would you like worked on ?

I'm getting a Welder, Lathe, Mill, and just putting it out to my Motorsickle peeps so to share my shop in the endless need to mod our rides....

Front lightbar for mounting driving lights, aftermarket front turn signal mounts, saddlebag supports for bags larger than the OEM bags, combo cat eye tail light/aftermarket rear turn signal mount bracket to go under the rear of the fender, combo tail light/turns for those who have bobbed the rear fender, muffler mounts, front seat raise thingamajigs to get rid of those dang plastic spacers wrapped in electrical tape, brackets to move battery back for those that have removed their airbox, forward controls with extended support bar that allows adding highway pegs on the end...

Man, I could go on forever with this list.

I agree with the brackets for moving the battery back. I myself would love to have a whole different battery box. The stock one is UGLY and that plastic top is the worst idea ever.

A battery box that mounts low on he frame up front between the forward controls. A nice sleek like...blends right into the shape of the frame/controls. Maybe a nice bottom curve out to match the low curve of the front tire.  Huh You can call it the Def Battery Box  Grin

Ghost brackets/easy brackets. I've seen them made work on other small bikes with similar fender rails, why don't they make them to fit a Savage?---NB I want this one MOST OF ALL! Grin

Dual Headlight bracket, one that's adjustable for possible windshield options.

Better cargo rack, maybe something that uses the stock fender rails

Footpeg adapters for HD style mounts, i.e. kuryakn "adjustable male peg" but with the "finger" Slowzuki put on the stock pegs. (Should be a small and easy setup)

Stylized or custom battery box, custom as cutout flames, tribal designs, etc... Maybe even something that could still use the stock "toolbox"

License plate bracket turn signal relocation kit. Those that love bobbin' usually come up with them on their own, again shouldn't be hard to setup for machining.

Sissy bar options: taller, without pad, with bigger pad, simple handle design, designs to match battery box, etc...

Maybe not metal, but premade white spacers for the carb. Maybe a kit with 3 or 4 of different thickness.

Stainless front seat risers/hardware. Aluminum, stainless, black maybe also in 1/2" increments would be nice.

Other things could easily be made, but are already supplied by others right now...Versy, Ed.L controls, Tkat, Seiver brackets...

These are the top items I'd like to see custom adapted to the savage, instead of buying the gizmo from pickyoursite.com and drilling, bending, etc. to make it fit.

I want a luggage rack to fit over the rear tire, where the back seat normally goes.  I have a real pretty HD one, but I think it will need modding.  And the pool needs cleaning, and the lawn mowing, and the animals need brushing....you get the idea.  I can't do it, and my husband has a "to do list" a mile long.  

Let me know if you come up with something, or want to see a pic of the piece I have.   Smiley

I actually drew up something along that line, for aluminum.  Now I just need to dig through the scrap bin at work and see what's available.  It's not very stylish, just a couple blocks, but once I see how functional it is, may think about fancying it up.  If it works good, I may try and post a blueprint of it or something.  Although if we don't have any scraps at work, I'll have to pay, and that always slows things down.

Huh  Correct me if I'm wrong (happens more than I'll admit!) but for higher speed with less rpm, wouldn't you want a bigger front pulley, or smaller rear pulley? Undecided

Absolutely right JD

If you could get someone to make you a smaller rear pulley by one tooth... pitch is ~.25"?... it would shift the rear axle back by half that amount.
