Not to knock the folks on here that fab forwards but those look like they only stretch you out a bit which is what I was looking for...plus I love the pegs

Check out hardknock bobbers for cheap oldschool springer forks.They have a kit for their bikes for a couple hundred that im fairly sure will work. Rotor and brake bracket too. Ive been meaning to call for a while. They also got 21 inch spokes and whitewalls for dirt cheep. If you have the time check em out. They wont know if it fits a savage but find out what the specs are on their frame. i bet itd fit with a little coersion. If it works out pm me so i can go that way too. My only reservation is that my rear is slightly lower than yours...changing the rake and trail. A springer will change the trail and add a few inches out. Itd probably be fine but i'd do a calculation with the part in hand and see what the trail will be. Check here: Www.Kikker5150.com
