Howdy Truck!I posted a couple months ago about having built a similar bike a couple years ago.I got busy with my recovery from my bike accident last year and forgot pics,so here are a couple.I didn't get near as fancy as you,but I had alot of fun too.You have a bright future bud.As to your knee issue,has anyone suggested a CPM machine?I couldn't bend my knee at all when I got home last October.This thing WILL help.You can get it from most medical supply stores and insurance should cover the rental.

Thanks!It's not rigid though,it has the rear shock and suspension linkage from a 2000 GSX 750.Its mostly hidden under the seat and the swingarm but if you look closely under the frame tube below the seat you can see part of the shock.The front fork and brakes and muffler are from the same bike.I made adapters to fit one of the front brake rotors to my stock wheel and the wheel to the fork.

Ahh got ya. Looks like the strut I see is just going from the stock shock mount to the muffler.

Im alright, which is amazing due to how fragile my knee is. Rear wheel is toast. Which is almost funny, because its the most expensive part of the bike. A used wheel will cost more than I have in the bike. darn.

Re: here is my savage, kinda Reply #298 - 06/27/10 at 12:13:07 Yep, mirror's gone, peg is wrong & cant see hoot on the wheel, but Im sure you'd know if it was messed up./ Good thing it didnt get the swingarm. Or would you rather that had been bent instead of the wheel?
