Arnold Serious Thumper Offline The dude abides... Posts: 896 Westchester, NY Gender:	New to the forum 07/21/10 at 11:57:47 Hello all and welcome to me! Just purchased a 96 (pic to follow). Looking forward to do some mods. First, would like to remove the passenger seat and do the one seat thing with the spring underneath. Next, I want to install forward controls. I am looking forward to anyone who may have some tips. Thank you all!

Couple of people on market place are selling forward controls under 100$. They look goofy cause savage already has forward controls and they're just more forward, but helps get ya somemore room.

As to the forward controls, check out Ed L.'s post in The Marketplace. He has many satisfied customers on here. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1202177312

I want to do the seat thing first, I think it changes the look a lot. This bike is all stock, only 2k miles and I'd like to give it some character.

Now I have to get a side mounting bracket for the license plate, get a shorter fender and find a way to get rear lights on it, I'd like a single seat with springs. Maybe a job for this winter. Are there some parts to buy out there that fits without having to drill and rewire, etc...

You can go blue collar bobber they have a kit pretty expencive as compared to a trailer fnder and some after market tail lights, but also as close to bolt on as you will ever come..

Seat and fender and plate mount 700 and another 165 for lights that you will have to wire in.

Alternatively a trailer fender is like 20 dollars eBay turns 25 eBay model t replica light 45... And eBay springer seat 50... So about 100 for the same effect...
