Help me find these bikes.
03/29/10 at 20:31:45

I know that almost everyone on this site either bobs, or chops. I am interested in turning mine into either a standard, or a cafe. Below are pictures of three Savages that have mid or rear set pegs and controls. I would very much like to be able to communicate with the owners of these bikes. Does anyone know who owns these machines, or how to locate and contact them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Suzuki did a very nice job with the '97 Tempter. Too bad they didn't import it (as a 650), I would much prefer it to the cruiser style.

If I remember correctly, wasn't the 650 Tempter a twin cylinder? The Tempter in my links uses the Savage / S40 engine. It was available as a 400, I don't know if they made a 650 version.
