Do what you like. It's yours. On the positive side, the frame is not getting chopped; it'll have a new life to someone who needs a frame.

 Do you have all the spring parts for the Savior ?, mine came without the nuts. Takes a long axle too. Had to make the axle for mine.

Frank yes I have all the plunger parts including the long axle thankfully. It all has good chrome too.

As for the people sad about parting the stock bike out, it has no title and is really incomplete. And it’s parts will go on to help other bikes be completed.

you can buy the tank if you want. I should start another thread for parts since this will be my build thread.

Not sure on the history. I bought it bare with a title. The PO takes the neck to 45*. Right now I’m planning to get a Harley front end with 39mm forks and probably do 10” over tubes. Front disk brake. I will be looking a Harley rim with Honda hub or maybe making my own.
