Hello. I am new to the forum. I currently own a Vstar and a XS650 bobber build. I am looking to do a bobber build of a Savage. Any suggestions, recommendations or advice from previous builds? Thanks !

These two bobber looks are popular enough to market as kits:

bluecollarbobbers.com/suzuki-savage-s40
www.rycamotors.com/bikes/

As for looks...whatever you like.I personally like the Mustang style tanks.Sporty tanks are over used on any bobber builds.I use them on my Savage builds because of the frame design.I had to modify my backbone to get the Mustang tank to work.But that's on a stock frame.You can run about any style tank with the new backbone.Electrics,keep the stock harness and just eliminate whatever you are not using.

if your still looking for a hardtail voodoo is the way to go, as far as tanks I went with a lowbrow customs p-nut tanks and it is a perfect fit all the way around

Yes sir, I also tooled and dyed  the leather as well. I had a build thread on here but I moved my pics around in my photobucket account and broke all the links in the thread. I may start a new thread this evening if I get some free time.
