Thanks  Smiley

I modified the subframe and made a mount for the tail light and license plate....just need to aim the light down a bit, but that's details

i've been busy taking apart a donor car I bought for my Nova project...so the bike had to wait for a while. I also cleaned out and re-organized the garage so I have a bit more room to work on it.

Today I cut up the extra header pipe I got from my mother. I will use the outer pipe pieces to extend the header to the muffler. Since welding the pieces together will damage the chrome I will probably paint it black..... hopefully some time to work coming weekend and then make some updates with pics again  Smiley

Well.... I started making the exhaust....cut up 1 Savage header to make the connecting pieces from header to muffler.

Since I don't have power in the garage I measured a bit on the bike, went home and cut it and tacked it together....as you can see I was "a bit" off the 1st time  Undecided









But this gave me a good idea of how I had to change it to make it look and fit right.

2nd time came out a whole lot better I think  Cool
Now I need to finish weld it and I will then have another big job done.
The muffler is attched to a flange with 3 bolts, I need to drill 3 new holes so it will mount with the right side up...now it is about 60degrees off.











I als got another brake master for the rear since the one from the 600F doesn't fit a bit on the GSXR rearset.

getting close to having a running bike now  Smiley

it's a BSM Vampire.... BSM is a Dutch exhaust manufacturer. I got this muffler from our local "craigslist".

yup, that there 2nd time looks much better
Kudos for being able to cut and weld off site and come up with that result, even if it took more than one try

Honestly sounds a lot better than I expected for a sportbike muff on a Savage Smiley

been working on the wiring today. not much to show but I made good progress.
The 600f throttle cable worked (the Savage one didn't) with the 600f throttle. The clutch cable is connected too so getting closer.

It took some measuring/staring at wiring diagrams and then cutting/splicing and connecting. I tried to switch the connectors to the Savage connector blocks as much as possible, right side was easy only left side took some more work. I also needed to install a special indicator relais to get it to work again, I guess it had to do with the lower load (LED indicators)

everything is working now for the electrics, just need to connect the tail light and install the gauge harness that I lengthened.

quickly started it again just to hear it run, my buddy came by on his Harley to check it out and was impressed by the sound  Cool

getting closer to having a running bike now!  Smiley

Muffler diameter, bit fat,, heel , likely contact.
If you ever change, I'd consider the HD Dyna.
Totally dig the tank, shocks seat really good looking.

Nova pics would be nice. Details, year, engine, stuff, man, stuff...

Awesome love the build. I've been looking to add more stopping power. Would love to get more detail on the swap. What year was the GSXF600 front end?

thanks, it is an 88 front end.... but any 600F front end up to mid 90''s will fit. Please keep in mind that the forks are much closer to the tank than with the Savage T-piece....this will limit your steering (a lot with the Savage tank)

Great, thank you, love the tank swap you did. Cool  I am not sure what tank I'll do was thinking peanut tank or another small tank.
