1200 miles on mine now.  Works well.

Next improvements:
steering stabilizer
redoing aircleaner/smog tube
converting to low handlebar instead of clip-ons

selling all the take-off parts soon

I suspect the K&N filter supplied by RYCA doesn't flow as well as it should, plus the system I used for getting the crankcase fumes into the aircleaner is a bit bulky.

I plan to open up the back side of the filter some and cover it with some aircleaner foam.

Then I'm planning on routing the crankcase hose to the front of the filter with a small filter in the line to reduce the pulsing in that hose.  IOW, at any throttle setting, there will be either a partial vacuum or a low enough pressure to allow the crankcase to vent.

I never did get around to doing a photoshoot on this bike.  Here's what it looks like just parked in the garage.  The pics are Droid Turbo phone camera pics.

Hey Gyrobob:   a Couple of questions:

1)  why not relocate the clip-on above the upper tree?  looks like you pushed the tubes through the top tree.
2)  why do you think you need a stabilizer?  whats going on?
3)  any issue with the tire hitting the license plate?  what is your weight?
4)  Paint:  Duplicolor with spraymax topcoat?  or did you go to a body shop for clear?
5)  Any thoughts on a brake upgrade or the fork upgrade?

Looks great!!! nice work!!!

1) There's not enough room on the fork tube, and I want the grips to not be stuck out so far,.. I want them closer to each other.
2) At around 75mph there's a slight wiggle I can not tune out with steering head bearing pressure, or tire pressure, or even adding a fork brace.  I also have a 2hz weave when leaning it way over in the twisties at 40-50 mph.
3) I did have a problem with the plate hitting the tire.  The mods for that were to mount the plate flexibly, and curve the bottom of the plate.  Now when the plate hits the tire it rubs harmlessly.  See reply #238 in this thread.  http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1304722902/225  
210lbs.
4) All Duplicolor, with Duplicolor clear.  That stuffs rubs out beautifully after it dries for a few weeks, but it is trashed by gasoline.
5) The brakes are fine,.. not great, but fine.  I plan to use upgraded brake pads for the front.  The rear brake, simple as it is, can lock up the rear wheel anytime, and doesn't fade much.  The fork is standard but with the RYCA supplied progressive spring upgrade.  It rides stiffly.

Thanks for the comment.  Smiley

Photobucket is a communist organization.  In this Double RYCA build thread, I have painstakingly taken hundreds of pics to illustrate all ideas, mistakes, progress, mods, etc., placed them on Photobucket to access from here.

Now Photobucket says all those pics won't work unless I give them $400. They call it third party hosting.  I call it extortion.

I'll have to eventually switch over to another hosting outfit like Bluemelon or Imgur,.. but jeeeeeeeeeeez what a pain it will be to switch over those pics one after another.  If I do ten a day, it will take months to change it all over.

Have any of the rest of you had a problem like this?  If so, did you find a workable solution?

I was hoping some of us had a workable solution.  Right now I'm dithering between using another photo hosting site, or setting up my own cheapo website where I can host my own photos.

I think the stator may have bought the farm.  Please see http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1509226606
