Never rode before i chopped it, it sat in our back yard for about 10 years before i got it.
My girlfriend was gonna have it rebuilt, but we got her the other Savage in the pics above.
I have rode hers a couple of times and don't notice any difference. Also rode my Virago without for a day and no diff there either.
Rain is a different issue ...lol

There's an old biker trick for the rain without a front fender. Tie a bandanna between the forks and the spray is disrupted. I tried it and it works really well.

Angled the bars up a couple inches too. Looks like rake is a little different, but is from lowering the back of the bike i think. Rake is still stock.. Currently making a template to cut front fender to a more agressive design. Will have pics when i'm done.
