3 questions for the savage sages, help with any one would be greatly appreciated:
1.
I was wondering if water could get in from around a loose speedo and gas out that way. Savage finally got tipped in the yard when I was pulling the back wheel. I left it down for half an hour and when i picked it up i noticed some fuel residue on the tank and i was able to lift the plastic speedo housing about a cm. Hoping this just came out the cap, but if there's a risk of gas contamination through the speedo hole I may use some black silicone if that's alright.
As far as longer term fixes go, here's an excuse to put a new tank on it. Has anyone ever thought about putting one of those narrow tall humped gas tanks off a sportbike on here? I feel like that would look sick.
2.
Also I'm wanting to change out the suspension in the back. I'm 6 foot and 170 lbs. I really like the look of the 12.5 in suspension I've been seeing and I could use some seat raise. I'm a little concerned about oil levels though. Belt guard adjustments don't concern me since I've pulled them off anyway. Everything I read on here is about progressive 412/418. Has anyone used the Bikers Choice stuff? Supposedly made by progressive. Would oil levels be semi-accurate in the glass with 11.5-12" shocks? Do I just choose whichever model Bikers Choice specifies for the Sportster?
3.
Also my turn signals in the back are broken from the fall. I'd like a replacement that doesn't stick out so much but could be bolted on that same place with minimal troubles.
Or, i've also thought about bar end signals that go front and back like
http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/handlebar-turn-signal-set-2pcs-chrome-1-inc...so that I could remove the fronts and have both front and back off the handlebars. Little concerned about bar weights and running cables through the bar though. Anything like that that clamps on that ya'll've seen?
Thanks
