I'm about to start on exhaust for mine . Where did you get the collar for the head pipe? I need to find one or get someone to make one before I can start on my exhaust.

Thanks for the kind words fellas. That tank is a sportster 2.1 gal peanut tank I got off eBay. I've cut it down a little so it proportional. And as far as what we used on the forks, well it's just a buffer, sandpaper and some good old elbow grease. Not nessasarily in that order.
I'll talk to Nick about making more header pipes for all y'all.

Posts: 79	Re: 1986 Savage FTW bob chop build Reply #55 - 02/11/14 at 15:44:38 So I thought I would ask you guys what you think of this cam chain tensioner. It's probably original and it looks good to me, but than again, this is my first Savage. Now on to figuring out how I'm going to hide the wiring and what to do with this mess....
