And rear ended a week after it was done, sold a week later and well, pics and ideas are all that was left. Can I link it to a photobucket album ? How to do that ? Cool. Srinath.

To make a cheater chopper - without a seeger kit.
I made 3 parts, one of which was just a piece of scrap I modded.
I bought 1 part from junkyard - complete front end off a 1989 Kawasaki KX125.
I also bought a long bolt like an axle bolt.

This 3 was what was made - Used the savage stem in that lower triple.

9 degree rake, and I figured a 12 degree would have worked better, no loss in ground clearance, no worse handling and a few more inches of wheel base. Next run is a 12 if my machinist will do it now.

Weirdly, its easier in a high quality drill press, not a mill. What you need is a high quality hole saw. A mill - well you need a hollow mill od 1.5" depth, which really doesn't exist, and its not easier to control than the drill and holesaw.

Cool.
Srinath.

The bobbed back end. Only part I had to buy here was that limp thingy taillight. The stock rear fender spot welds were shallow drilled, the braces removed, the sissy bar etc gone, the regulator/rectifier was put in the airbox. Stock seat was upholstered with a little "skirt" to cover up the visibility into the electrics under the seat, they were all in the stock location except the R/R. I ran side covers and battery cover. Literally its a 1 part bobber. The stock R.R holes are perfect for the limp thingy tail light mounting bolts.
Cool.
Srinath.

Oh yea, I bought harley risers, I could have drilled em for s40 risers, but that was when the s40 just came out and those things were $$$. The HD ones I think I had em lying around from when my previous neighbor gave me a bunch of HD stuff. Cool. Srinath.

Looked goofy, but handled amazing with light light effort. Made the savage positively feel like an overloaded wheelbarrow at all speeds. Cool. Srinath.
