That's a fine lookin' ride groupus! Some spacers between the frame and rear fender would close up the gap a little to the rear tire?

Still legit for PA inspection too I assume? Is that the stock Savage seat as well? I have a feeling that I'll probably go that route at first, but could opt for a spring conversion one like Demin's...

I've got about an inch of spacers between the fender and frame now, but I would like to close that gap up a little. I have to see what the maximum travel of the rear wheel is before I move the fender down any more.

The lights are all good to pass inspection in PA - i'm a resident of the keystone state too. I was worried about the taillight not being visible on the left side also, but my license plate bracket sticks out far enough that it can be seen unless you are looking at it straight on from the side. Fyi, the PA motorcycle law does not require turn signals on a bike.

I like the idea of an integrated taillight/turn signal. Custum Dynamics makes some cool LED ones, not for the savage of course: http://www.customdynamics.com/yamaha_honda_kawasaki_motorcycle_led_taillight.htm

this type of lights would be awesome if you could adapt it or make something similar:

I just reversed mine from a hacked up bobber to a full on bike. The only thing I'm still missing is a set of real shocks rather than these spiked struts.

Here's the thread of mine before and after.

Whichever you choose, have fun with it there are lots of suggestions floating around this board no matter what you decide to do. Cheesy

I have a set I can sell you cheap, I also replied in your other thread. pm me if you still need em.
