I know I love what you did man I really can't wait. I have to do this sooner than later. This is a way better option to the rake kits

Was it hard to make the swap Greg?

I called him back he's an old timer I told him there must be some kind of mistake cause a bunch of guys had bought em from him and he confirmed it was the ls650 and not the sv650 that he was thinking of he said in the first call.
I found that link also and they bare both close in price
Frank wanted $279 + $30 ship to Fl
And AME wants around $331 shipped
Looks like I have to come up with some bread

I just called up the chopper kit folks and they said that they actually get their 4 over tubes from Franks and that I would be better off going directly through Franks if I was not ordering the whole kit.

When I bought my kit the fork tubes were shipped from Frank's, not Chopper Kits.

Thats what I was thinking to, I see girders on craigslist all the time for $100. Where do you get conversion bearings for $40?
My other question is there a way to use those bearings, lets say they are 1" can you then add a harley front end from lets say an older sportster or some sort of smaller harley that you could actually buy a rakes set of trees and over forks. They have a way to do this for the intruders are they the same size. There really has to be viable and feasable options for this bike to have an extended front end. My major selling point on this bike was the already 35 degrees in rake. I also like the Honda VLX and the intruder 1400 all having a massive stock rake and no need for welding a neck just triple trees and extended forks and lower the rear then you go to town and this bike looks great with a sportster tank I could only imagine having it raked out with 5 degree triple trees and 6 over forks and some ape hanger z bars MAN O MAN!!! and the way these little bikes cook it would feel hot rod all the way BB!!

No kidding??? So this triple tree will fit our savage?  http://www.bikercom.com/shop/index.php?page=pp_producto.php&md=0&ref=GZ-090104

Cause the only one I could find where it said " made for savage" was $750 and there was another one I think for around $1100 it was robbery

I really want about 5-6 degrees added to the 35 so I can go with 6 over and slam the back shocks. With the vs800 trees in that ad and the forks were looking at $800 give   or take. That sure beats $2000 for one of those chopper kits and you don't have to have that crazy peice hanging on your front end. So it looks sharp too

I really love this savage chop they have the right idea and I bet its fun as hell to ride

Heres a great example of what I'm talking about. In my opinion the Savage and intruders really look great as old school chops





Can anyone absolutly confirm that VS800 raked triple trees will work on our bike?
I would really hate to come up with the over $400 only to find out they didn't work. I can't understand why if they did work the manufacture would not include the S40/savage as working with them. Wouldn't they make more money that way???
Or do I have to have the entire front end from that bike to go with the trees for this to work.

I guess my main question is where can I get a fair priced set of raked trees for this bike 5 or 6 degree?

That is a stock frontend on my purple bike.I think the stacked headlights make it look longer. .And no fender makes a difference too.
