Hi, So I introduced myself ohhhh 2 years ago and really haven't posted since. Unfortunately I haven't work on the bike much either. So Ill re-introduce myself with hopes I can get fired up again in the garage.. Once it warms up.

Jeff ..aka WHISTLES.. Ontario Canada (near Cobourg), 31 Years old. bought a beat up and worn out 1988 Savage. I am in the process of a bit of a tear down, as I plan to rebuild and customize.

Grew up on dirt bikes, quads, tractors, and anything else that makes a bit of noise.

This is my first street bike /cruiser and my first rebuild, so I will be scouring the tech forums for help on a regular basis.

Here she was when I bought her.


and what Ive done..Tear Down, Hack up, strip apart.. weld in hardtail (voodoo vintage)





and did a faux rust finish.. with a clear over top



modified tractor seat


just showing the stance.. kinda... doesnt have the painted tank or skins on as you can see...

So that's where I'm at... aside from a few other things.. polished forks, rear brake drum..yada yada.. .still a long way to go.

Later

Here's my second Savage.. pretty nice for a 1998 and only 8900 miles!! Gotta love the 5th gear now!! I had some old 70s Chopper Risers and a flatter handlebar that I installed.
The Aluminum risers took 1/2" fine thread bolts so I needed to drill the upper chrome washers to 1/2" (from 12mm) , used new washers on the bottoms, and I pushed in 1/2" spacers the same length as the old stock metal spacers in the rubbers and PRESTO!!

I'm hoping you have a small section of fender at the back of that seat.... one bump too big could prove um..... slightly painful.
