finally someone who makes a whole solid video about the build! that thing is a beauty and I absolutely LOVE the lights! Awesome job and quite some inspiration!
Dude! You really knocked this project out of the park. I love all the aesthetic choices you made (blinkers, headlight, taillights, mirrors, shorty exhaust, exhaust wrap, rear fender, license plate mount, etc...). You turned this ladies bike into a real badass looking machine, that any guy would be proud to be seen on. My sister bought one of these last week and it sounds awful stock. Your shorty exhaust looks amazing and sounds so mean (with or without the baffle) in a good way.
I have dead Chinese Suzuki copy in my garden. If your actually interested it’s a Lexmoto valiant. I was pondering what to do with it and I landed on bobber so I’m really glad I found these videos. You have done a nice job here and it sounds awesome.
This is awesome, never even heard of these bikes until last week one was given to me free. (2007) going to build a bobber for my wife to learn on. This thing is sick looking!
Crazy man, you put up high the savage name with this build. At first i was like, oh no don't ruin a perfect bike. But your "less is more" mentality really transformed this bike to a better version of it. You rock sir!
haha Fantastic,....soon as I saw the build and migging in flip-flops, no visor, ya knew this guy was focused and the build shows it...FANTASTIC,.. looks great!!
Your S40 build looks great miles better than stock. Like your chopped off back end. Your m/c helmets fantastic pity it's not legal in the UK. Great video.
Yaaaa. I’m going to build my s40 into a bobber over the fall I think. Just change out the handle bars and mirrors. Seat, back fender, shocks, and new tires etc. This is easy to do and I’m gnna keep my little Suzuki for over another year until I get my M license and then I’ll sell it for what I bought it for or probably more tbh. I just had a light accident with it last Saturday in a rainstorm and my back tire locked coming to a stop sign....tried to catch it and I did but then it went the other way and I couldn’t control it anymore....almost broke my foot and hurt my leg and arm but the bike is fine. Broke the mirror clean off where the brake fluid reservoir is...tail light, and bent the hell out of the brake lever but I fixed all the but the mirror. Tiny dent in the gas tank but I’m hst gnna strip the paint, push the dent out and paint it a nice deep gray colour - turn it into a Bobber for next season. This one is tastefully done. Similar to what I have in mind. It’s not hard to do at all.
Amazing build, lots of inspiration for my Suzuki Ls650 i bought mine rebuild as a bobber (Ryca Motors bobber kit). Im happy with it but wants to change a few things here and there, and thanks to you i have so many new ideas now! Fantastic build and video man.
Man I wanted a Savage back in the day. I got over it - until now! Will you build me a bobber if I supply the Savage? Just really fun to watch a man work in his garage!
A lot of people asking why am I switching frames? This bike was purchased at an auction as a parts bike and could not be registered, so we are putting all parts on another frame that has a title, with same year, make and model.
Very good job! My congratulations, of all the videos I've seen on bobbers from afar yours was the best, most faithful and complete. The only thing I would add would be the colors, I think it worked harder with black which ended up hiding the details of your project. Maybe if you had worked for example: with a black face on the side of the fuel tank and the bumper and in the center of it would put a shiny black with silver edges, would be perfect. But other than that, your project is perfect! Congratulations!!!!
Hello Vlad. Amazing job! Rear shock absorber do you paint or buy a news? If you paint is dificcult? Sorry if muy english is bad. Tky from uruguay south america
This built looks awesome. Great job you did on it mate. Do you have a link where i can find the blinker/tail lights you used on the fork ? Greatings from belgium dude
Was very impressed and inspired by these 2 videos! Thanks! My wife will be very happy come spring! Just wish u had more info on some of the parts and where u got them... What type of paint u used on motor and exaust.. Pretty sure I will figure it out. Thank you for your insight... Great way to upgrade a single cylinder bike!
My project is moving along thanks for all your help. Question did you tap holes for your front seat bracket. And did you just use the frame holes for the rear of the seat?
Hope ya re-jetted the carb, to take into account the more free-breathing muffler. I neglected to do that one mine, wound up with a crack in the case which allowed all the oil to mist out; result: end of bike.
Hello my friend , i have also a Suzuki Savage 650 and i am from Germany. Youre bike look so good . Can You tell me where do you buy your Hi/ Low headlight. Thank you and have a nice time with youre Bike .
