Forward controls and footpegs all fabricated, rear brake is now flipped round 180 degrees and pulled by a 6mm stainless rod. I have a really nice rear fender which I forgot to photograph, and I've had a bigger rear tyre fitted which has improve the stance no end (150/90). Fender fitting is integrated with the sissy bar, so that's next I think.

But you may have to rethink the rear brake rod a bit , you've changed the brake arm 180 degrees ,so that it needs to be pushed rearward to apply the brake, so the adjustment nut on the end of the rod needs to be forward of the brake arm, and the rod must be stiff enough not to flex.

The brake arm is attached to a flat cam that spreads the shoes any time it is turned. Up or down, pull on it and it will brake.

Next up is battery box, any ideas anyone? i looked at ammo boxes n such like but they are all too big really. I need to fit the battery in and the CDI and thats it. Might have to make one out of stainless and brass maybe.

As far as hiding the battery there's always the fake oil tank. I did one big enough to hide a rats nest of wires, connectors, fuses and starter solenoid. Scroll down on the link and you'll get the idea http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1500819916/375

It will be easier to keep it from detracting from the simple and clean look.

As for small batteries, I've been using an Antigravity AG-801 for a couple of seasons now and love it. It's pretty small, very light and cranks really strong with no maintenance required.
