Bobber Project Part 1: Exhuast Mod w/video
06/19/12 at 11:56:51

I'm not a mechanic and monkeys probably have more mechanical skills than me which is why I joined this forum.
Here are some video for all you others like me who are trying to figure it out on your own.

If I call a specific part wrong please correct me.

Bike soounds good, no sweat with where the muffler is,

Yeah, Skeebo has some pretty great ideas and custom parts that he's been making and fabricating for people here on the forum, and his price are very reasonable.
It's all simple bolt-on stuff too.
There's a lot you can do with a Savage to customize it with simple bolt-on parts. Makes it a great bike for NOOBs like yourself.

I think you're gonna have a lot of fun with this thang!!

If I take off the front fender does it affect the forks? Will the forks get all wobbly if I leave it off?

Drop Old Feller a PM, he'll set ya straight.

I wouldnt ride a bike w/o a front fender, ever. I like the look of fenderless, a lot, but the dang things stop a lot of crap getting tossed up.

I have a fender AND a forkbrace. I saw better handling after the brace went on. One or 2 here say they dont agree. Others agree,, So,, up to you,,

I tried cutting it but it just got smaller and uglier. I think a fork brace with an integrated slim profile fender would look good on any style bike....hmmm

If I don't like it I can always put the fender back on. I'm looking to purchase a GoPro and when I do I'll get a video of the forks riding down the road with and without fender and then study the video for any differences.

I wouldn't worry about studying the video. You'll know a lot more from just the way it feels driving down the road. Pay attention to that. Drive down a variety of roads; flat, gravel, potholes, etc.

Lots of threads here about Fork Braces. I've used them and like them; others don't so much. It's up to you to decide if your ride has too much flex.
