I have a '97 Savage with some mild customizing. It has a H-D soft tail muffler and custom connector pipe, took all the hardware from the rear fender and put on small bullet signal lights that also work as running lights. I also put on a side mount license plate bracket with a chrome Model A Ford stop light. I had to make the bracket for the light from a chrome fuel pump block off plate for a small block Chevy. It really cleaned up the rear fender. I left the holes on the fender open. I drilled lightening holes in the front heat shield and in the drive sprocket cover using a drill press. Reminds me of the old Indian dirt racers. The bad news is that my wife can't ride any more so I posted it in the Market Place section. Hate to part with it after I did the work on it but I have my own bike to ride and I can't justify keeping them both.

Reply #92 - 04/18/06 at 07:14:18 I've got my "shocks" painted now... but lost my tank snake when I had the tank off for a couple of days (Someone knocked it over and gas leaked out...) And my new security blanket, uh, chain. Sorry it's a little blurry. Want to get a shorter chain so I can tie it up at my watering hole...

Hi Guys

Finally got round to registering! I click on this site most lunch times whilst at work. Grin

I've had a Savage for about 7 years, and about 6 months ago I stripped it right down to nothing.
The bodywork has gone to a guy at the local Ford garage who is going to spray it "Performance Blue"with a little extra metal flake.
Then a local airbrush guy is going to show me how to "Flame" it and he's going to do the flames in a light pearl colour. Grin

I will send in some piccies as and when progress is made!
