Any reason you can’t do a heim joint on both ends?

I’ve got a tank for a 1400 kicking around somewhere. If you’re interested, send me a message and I’ll pull it out and get pics. I’d do $150 plus shipping on it.

Hey man, got some input for ya. First, the rear hub is aluminum on your GS, so it’ll be easy to work with. You can unbolt the lower shock mount from it or cut it off. You can see how the pumpkin...

I have run this tire for 3-4 years now. Rides great. It’s on a hardtail with a foot clutch too. I can definitely feel when I lean over onto the edge, but it is totally manageable. It’s never...

What about a narrow set of 7/8” rabbit ears with a 7/8” crossbar for the top tree? Something similar to my bars(this is an early pic before they got trimmed narrower).

Pipe is for poop. Pipe is measured by internal diameter(volume) and is meant to contain pressure. Tubing is measured by external diameter and meant for structural.

You could try other GS series wheels, but they’re all pretty similar. It’s possible a GS1100 wheel would work, but with being shaft drive with a hub, the rear wheel is pretty specific. You can fit a...

Looks fucking awesome!

Definitely check a wiring diagram, but most of those wires can be ditched. As for the carbs, on one of my chops I run open carbs with no filters. But I recommend you run pods. If you ditch the stock...

Thinking about what Dragstews said, I googled it. Someone makes an automatic clutch for your bike, so you don’t even need to use the clutch lever. Not sure on the price, but definitely seems like...

Yup, it’s a beast. The belt to chain is as easy as ordering the sprockets and chain and maybe making a couple spacers to get the alignment and clearance correct. Hope that got ya in the direction you...

Also just remembered Kawi made a 2000cc Vulcan that was belt drive also.

Does it have to be chain, or are you considering belt also(and switching to chain)? If so, I know the Yamaha Road Star is a 1700cc.

Wednesday ride nights are back! If you know where I live, meet me there at 5, or the El Cajon Classic car show at 5:30.

Bigger would go against your ‘bobber’ tank idea. The backbone on the savage is pretty narrow, so much tanks will fit. Maybe a ‘mustang’ tank will look ok on there? Those get up towards 4 gallons. But...

Crickout is at the end of the month(30-31-1). Anyone looking to ride there out of San Diego that Friday? I’ll probably leave SD around 5:30-6 that night and head straight there. I only get 60-65...

Are you capable of machining? If you’re after the single carb, why not go crazy and try to spin the rear cylinder 180°? That would be easy to build a manifold for, and exhaust would exit both on the...

I’ve got an Intruder 1400 chop with foot clutch and jockey shift. No real front brake, but I do have a ‘hill holder’ little drum on it. Won’t slow me down, but does stop me from rolling backwards on...

$10 maybe? You’d have better luck on FleaBay.

It would be best to have a fan. If the bike runs and rides at fine right now, and fitting a fan back in is too expensive, then you can monitor it easily. Get a digital laser thermometer. They’re...

Damn, you’re cranking this thing out. Tanks will look good like that and fit the style perfect. Good on ya.

Check out Renee. Does some killer work.

Boom! Mystery solved. Thanks for that, I was pretty sure that’s what it was.

I followed TriNort’s link and found this one down the page. This is probably it. Shape and tabs looks correct.

Found another pic of it but it had no info other than it was taken at Born Free. Didn’t see the year.
