We used to call that metal drillinium- the lightest metal known to man is one with many holes. Personally I would scuff off the chrome with scotchbright Chuck a few more random holes on it and would match the sprocket cover better. (But then I dislike chrome so take it off everything)
I dunno man, I mean it doesn't look terrible. I'm a fabricator by trade so the lack of accurate marking and center punching messed with my OCD a bit but the overall appearance was pretty decent. I do admire your "Fuck it, Lets give it a go" attitude lol. Thats what true customization is really about. Keep it up bro.
Nice to see someone else who ain't scurrd to chop on stuff.. I'm very likely about to rebuild my Savage 666cc bobber build into a tracker to play out in the national forest on the logging trails 😆
What size sprockets did you use front and rear and is it near the same ratio as standard? Also how is the gearing now you have changed to sprockets? I think the standard set up is very under geared. 👍🏴
@spikemcnock8310 so since i built this i dont really ride on the higway. But for cruising around town or hitting the highway for a mile or 2 the gearing is a little bit higher. I bought the sprokets from ryca they were a hige supporter of the savage and i belive have gone out of business. I bought them on sale for both under 20 bucks like 4 years ago. There is research that you can use a rear sprocket from a gs550e i belive
@@joshmartin7924 Thanks for the link, it's a pity Ryca have gone out of business. P. S. I do like the holes you drilled in the front sprocket and the head cover. I sold my head covers years ago because you can't get the spark plug out with it on. Thanks for replying 👍🏴

I do like the shoot from the hip way. Except when I welded up the hardtail. Lots of patience and measurements and tacks and more measurements.

Nice. I'd love to build another savage into a dirt bike
@@joshmartin7924 I have an extra that I can't figure out why it won't fire......
Andrew savage. Oh yeah
@@joshmartin7924 yes I do! Have three total, two must stay. What state are you in?
@andrew savage. Pennsylvania
should have bolted it back up after you drilled the holes, so we could see what it looks like on bike ^^ can always drill more little holes
Yes sorry I ran out of time so I made a part 2 and added more holes and made them bigger haha.
