Would you care to post how much this might run Susan? Thanks! PerrydaSavage Newfoundland

I can't believe all the interest! I stopped by the machinist last week and he had done some work on the estimate but wasn't quite finished. I will call him tomorrow and let you know what I learn.

Weeelll, I don't have much to report but I wanted to give you an update anyway. The machinist has been busy and hasn't been able to finish the quote for me. I am not in a huge hurry since it isn't mission critical but am starting to get aggravated. I am going to start looking elsewhere.

Out of curiosity, I am going to draw up the part and submit it to emachineshop (the online shop that PRH111 posted information about). I should have this done sometime this weekend. I am also going to check out a couple of other local machinists.

To everyone that is interested, I am sorry for the delay but will post any news as soon as I get it.

Susan I made a pledge not to ride my savage until I added this part to my bike. Like most guys visuals are highly important to me and I can't bring myself to climb up on my bike while such an eyesore exists. The lines of my bike are all screwed up because I removed the sissy bar in hopes that you would have that piece availible to us soon.

All right...who am I kidding I rode my bike this morning. I wouldn't care if the seat fell off, I would still find a way to ride! Grin

I know. Just like Clive said too.

I think that motorcyclists are really unknowingly suppressed mechanical engineers. We buy the bike, but can't help but try to redesign it better than the manufacturer.

I'm pretty sure that OEM spies lurk in these forums, too. Just to get ideas about market trends, etc. Maybe the subject of this topic is the reason for the change on the Savage40. No stock backrest...and now they can sell one as an accessory Tongue
