Anyone have any experience with these things?

I saw a couple of guys with Hard Knockers. The look very cool!

But...

They said at highway speeds they buzz so much you think parts are going to fall off.

The bolts are cheap enough that they actually do fall off...

But if you upgrade all the hardware, and use it only as a bar hopper, they are fun.

For the work, I would rather make a bobber.

A legal registered street ready used Savage can be bought for about $1K. *WHY* would you want a toy that is made from the cheapest parts he can find?

Why not start with one of these instead?

I just like tinkering and using them for the frames is pretty cheap as far as that goes anyhow. I have looked at the Johnny Pag stuff... not bad bikes either!

...yup, as expensive as a savage but still pretty cool toy,
does adding the turn-light kit make them street legal?

I knew a guy in Minnesota who had a J. Pag bike. He liked it pretty good.

a bike doesn't have to have turn signals (all states differ) to be street legal!

Im not concerned about that. I just figured for under 3k I can get a darn good start on another bobber. I just want it for the cheap frame and accessories. All issues that have been mentioned or easy for me to fix unless its the ones about him and his orders and shipping! I buy once and thats that!

There was a guy on here that was selling hard tailed bobber frames that were already set up for the S40 motor, maybe you should look into that. I honestly can't remember the guys name though.

I may have to look into it!

Voodoo was the guy doing the frames and one off setups. Currently he has this posted in RSD http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1302538089

There were some people that showed up on a few of them last summer at the races at PIR. They look neat, but I'm not sure how I'd like the suicide shift setup. :-/

Another neat engine swap that was there was this Cushman with a 250cc V-twin in it. It even sounded great!

Even the stockers are kinda neat little rides. The 3-wheeler is a Cushman also:
