Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by mpescatori on 10/29/10 at 02:01:06 Single carb V-twin ? Sopunds so much like a late model Harley to me... Sure, Single carb V-twin sounds nice, but wouldn't that make it an Intruder ? Now, a DR750/800 engine shoehorned into a revamped LS frame... ...maybe with efficient disc brakes all around and a 6-speed 'bow and a 4 gal tank... ...THAT would be the ideal Savage for me !!! 8-) |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by babyhog on 10/29/10 at 05:34:11 Perfect! Well, that's the way I voted. I wouldn't mind her being a little heavier, but its not critical. |

OK, for the EFI 900cc, but auto trans? Why autotrans, it would sound like a farm tractor or (shudder at the thought) a scooter... :-X ;) |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by lukeduck on 10/29/10 at 08:04:10 Hydraulic lifters and either a 6th gear or higher gearing. |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by weracerc on 10/29/10 at 08:14:26 arthritis in the ankles - shifting sometimes is painful......auto-trans for kind of a uniqueness factor and to help us who have arthur in the ankles. |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by EJID on 10/29/10 at 08:19:56 I like a few of the ideas provided but not all of them. I would like mine fuel injected with a few extra CCs, extended frame (leg room), floorboards, wider touring seat, fat rear tire, 21" front tire, chopped out slightly, 4 gallon tank, 6th gear, belt drive and aftermarket parts that are actually designed for it |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by Charon on 10/29/10 at 08:44:43 Bear in mind, opinions are like butt-holes - everyone has one, and nobody cares much about anyone else's. These are my opinions. I'd like to see hydraulic valve adjusters, fuel injection, elimination of the "need" to re-torque the head, and perhaps a little larger fuel tank. Be nice to have a way to change the oil filter without oil running all over the side of the bike, too. And a single-sided rear swing arm to make getting the wheel off much easier. The bike "fits" me well enough, and I don't like the cruiser position with legs outstretched anyway. I prefer to have my feet under me, so I can absorb road shocks with my legs instead of my tailbone. For gearing, what it needs is re-gearing, to make first a little lower for easier maneuvering in parking lots; high just a tad higher (but not much because it really doesn't have the torque to pull a much higher gear); and the other gears spaced out a bit. Edit: A considerably taller fifth gear would lower highway rpm, but decrease acceleration. The bike might have a higher top speed in fourth than fifth. End edit. Better suspension, especially in the rear, would be nice, but you quickly run into limits with the low ride height. If softer more comfortable suspension is fitted, people complain about losing handling. |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by Bug Chaser on 10/29/10 at 08:50:14 Bigger Tank ~ 4gal would be fine, 6th gear ~ would help with the vibration at Super Slab speeds Better seat ~ after 45 min my back starts feeling "old school" Anything past those I think you’re talking another bike completely. What makes this bike attractive is that you are free to improvise on just about anything. My two bits worth... |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by mick on 10/29/10 at 09:10:56 I voted more power,but I would also like a shorter wheelbase to improve handdling,and make it easier to convert to a cafe racer. |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by Boule’tard on 10/29/10 at 09:37:47 I think fuel injection would give the Savage plenty of range without going to a bigger tank. Also, 5 gears are enough. The transmission could use a shorter 1st and taller 5th, though. But the most important request I'd make is to fix the cam chain adjuster so it doesn't sproing apart in as little as 15,000 miles. |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by BurnPgh on 10/29/10 at 11:07:11 taller top gear, and more powerful and "other". Other being...fix the freaking cam chain issue already, throw a trip meter on, preferably with a bar mount speedo and tach. Bigger tank. Better looking stock muffler. Better stock seat. Slightly taller and softer suspension front and rear. Frame extended 4-6" (but I'm 6'2" so...) |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by PerrydaSavage on 10/29/10 at 13:24:50 As long as we're dreamin'!! 1.) Fix cam chain issue 2.) Hydraulic valve lifters 3.) Bar mount speedo with trip meter 4.) Fuel Injection 5.) Cast wheels with tubless tires Now the LS650 is perfection! |

my S-50 is an intruder rebadged and it has a carb for each cylinder. but it's a 2006, I wish it only had one carb or at least one air filter, or something to make it easy to work on in any way. fuel injection would be my vote, along with a taller top gear I guess or more range in gears <--- no idea what I'm talking about, just want to shift into 4th later and 5th later |

Title: Re: Savage dream poll... Post by gerald.hughes on 10/29/10 at 13:52:58 I forgot. I also would like to see a screw on oil filter and a 4 gal gas tank. |
