Suzuki Savage Chopper Project: Update
The latest bit of progress on the Suzuki Savage Chopper…
After Dave finished up the welding I got the seat and tank mounted, axle adjusters in and the electronics tank & fender mocked in place. Had the exhaust mocked up for a bit too, but didn’t grab a shot of it. I tried to get some exhaust bends to make the intake manifold, but it was Sunday and only thing open was pep boys / autozone. What they had didn’t really fit what I was looking for, so I gotta hit up a real exhaust place, which should do the trick. Next up (after I get back from vacation) is fab’in up the brackets for the e-box & rear motor mount and getting that intake figured out.
Note on photo - the straps and ties I used to mock up the e-box and fender have been photoshopped out. The e-box cover is also photoshopped. Helps me visualize where things are going to go. I’m getting better at remembering to take photos as I do stuff so I can update this build log. Future posts should be a lot more detailed.

I have never really been a Suzi fan, but after seein some pretty well thought out plans, I might start looking at them in a different way. This Savage has a nice, almost Triumph-like look to it. If you look quick, you wouldn’t notice the squarer cylinders.You might be able to tell I’m a Tramp-man. (Got a ‘57 3TA in the garage in peices right now!) No matter. This is definatley gonna have a nice bobbed look when finished, and it will be all it’s own look. Don’t have ta look like something your not, if you can stand on your own. Keep this thing going! I’m watchin’! Oh, and don’t “Bling-Bling” it out, either, please!!!

Hey Tom
Thanks for the comments, they are much appreciated. I love Trumps to - my next ground up build will probably be a Trump (to go with my 2003 America, little old and new). And absolutely no bling, although the paint is definitly going to be wild.
Thanks for stopping by

Thanks Adam. You definitely won’t be seeing anything fancy going on, just a down and dirty, home built scoot.
