So I removed tank from my '03' Savage and took it to local body shop/motorcycle painter. They told me that, yes, the Savage decal is clear coated to tank. They also informed me that removal involves carefully sanding decal with 400 grit sand paper until it turns "white". That has removed all the clearcoat and the heat from such has softened the decal enough for easier peel off removal. Anyway, they did a great job at matching the factory paint color and results are such.
At this point work to it has replacement Highway Hawk window drag bars, teardrop mirrors, Cobra tri-bar, tear-drop headlight. Black ceramic coated header with VooDoo slash cut exhaust with a 3/4 down turn with 2 additional baffles and stainless mounting bracket. Updated S40 teardrop turn signals. Brown leather, diamond stitched upholstery. And additional decals and trim.
Just installed the Versy head plug and did a valve adjust while it was apart. Also checked through all the connections under tank. Knocked off about 110 miles last couple days going to and from shop and to a local bike night yesterday, hopefully it is ready for summer. It has moved out of rack, so now the Fury moves in for a new high flow air intake and some cosmetic changes and additions.
