Posts: 38 Jefferson, Ohio Gender:	New build 04/28/10 at 02:48:02 I pick up a used savage, with the intent to build a bobber, here is what I started with a 99 with 12500 miles, got a great deal it was scheduled for the scrap yard paid $425. This will be my first bike and build, I have been reading a lot on your site, getting a bunch of ideas

Posts: 296 PA Gender:	Re: New build Reply #10 - 04/28/10 at 18:14:07 jesus, that was quick! any idea what you're going to do to it, other than just a bobber? ie: hardtail, apehangers, chopping? etc. ps. selling those parts in the marketplace will probably pay for the cost of the bike in no time

Im planning on bobbing mine too, i was wondering if the rear fender just bolts off??? I took a quick glance and thought it was welded to the frame.....
