Guys, I appreciate the continued kind words. Unfortunately I did not take many photos of the foot peg assembly build. As a matter of fact, I think I only took a picture of the final product.

I'm not sure if Photobucket allowed embedded image access again or not but for those on Chrome, you can download an extension to fix that issue.

Looks like it's goin a hundred even when it's on the sidestand. The color is perfect, and your bodywork is spot on. The whole package is outstanding. My compliments on a job well done.

I can't believe this has not sold to someone. Hard to build one, especially that nice for what he is asking.

I'm not sure why it hasn't sold honestly. It's a real bummer considering how nice the bike looks. I've had plenty of people give me the whole "if i had $xxxx I'd totally buy it" but no one has offered me anything worthwhile. And I've had others lowball me because a Savage "isn't worth that much." .... Despite all the work it has.

Folks that can and want to buy have usually already done so. The best time is Feb. to May to sell and get the most $$ for a bike. Late summer to mid winter is the best time to buy at low prices.

It's been for sale through all the scenarios you described. I guess people just don't care for the Savage platform? Or maybe it's the flat track look?

The market for "custom" bikes like your Street Tracker is unfortunately very small. Most folks who want a bike like this also want to be the one who created it and want to build it "their way".

The bike looks great - but speaking from experience with my Cafe', the bike has a limited use and would restrict my daily riding if it was the only bike I owned (no storage space, no wind protection....horrible to ride in the rain).........it is a bike that is best ridden on dry, sunny days. I love riding mine - but I choose days where there is little chance of me getting wet. Most folks want a motorcycle that is more user friendly.

(I also believe that a better headlight, turn signals and brake light and mirrors would be needed if I were going to ride this bike in traffic or after dark).

If you build to the market's vision, the market will buy. Cheers!
