I had to dig a lot of these pics up from our backup files, other pics I took if someone dropped by on their bike again. Also, I haven't included bikes currently being built, bikes we've had in for restoration, frames/rolling chassis we've done, or just paint...

Steve was a salesman that stopped by Savage Cycles one day. He caught a glimpse of our first Goblin and said "Man, I've got to have one of those!" Now he does. |

This one-off custom is based on our Jackal frame. The customer wanted something that looked like it could survive the Apocalypse. Coated with Line-X (thanks to the guys at Global, here in Frostburg), it already looks like it's bullet proof. |

One of our customers wanted a Violator built around a V-Rod motor, which lead to this ViolatorV one-off custom with more hand fabricated parts than you can shake a stick at. |

Hopefully we'll acquire some better pics of this Savage Jackal the boys built for a customer. It was raining the day they came to pick it up though, so what you see is what you get... |

Savage Cycles Violator X (for Xtreme). This puppy was built by the boys and appeared in the December '06 issue of BikerBeauties Magazine. Needless to say, it sold quickly... |

John Ferner loves the traditional street-rod look, and he wanted a Big Bear Venom built with that in mind. Black, chrome and sporting the traditional flames, it's a classic... |

Big Bear Choppers Sled built for Brian Reams. This thing is so long and low, it's like riding a magic carpet... A loud, aggressive magic carpet. |

Jack Metcalf brought us a Sportster that he wanted to turn into a fat tire bike. This was a prime opportunity for us to bring out the fourth bike in the Savage Cycles stable, the Savage Jackal. |

This Big Bear Venom was built for Keith Lombardi. When he picked it up, he said "@#$! That @#$!ing thing looks @#$! good! @#$! Look at that @#$!ing bike! @#$!"Webmasters note: Quote has been edited for a family format. |

The first Big Bear Merc we built for a customer. Don had us make some custom handlebars and a chain sissy-bar for it. Flat-black and bad to the core. |

Buddy had us do some nice fabrication to this Big Bear Venom Pro-Street. When he requested the paint job, he just said "Evil"... now he's got Satan by the horns. |

Believe it or not, this is actually a Big Bear Venom Pro-Street. This is the bike Barry had built for his wife Lisa and we did some extensive fabrication to it... What a sweet ride! |

Billy and Wendy Atkinson asked us if we could build a Jack Daniels themed bike for them, and here it is. We rushed to finish it in time to go to Beast of the East 2005 and it paid off. Best of Show and Peoples Choice. It's based on our Savage Headhunter frame and features extensive fabrication. This is what custom bike building is all about. |

Here's the first Savage Cycles bike, the Savage Headhunter. We had another frame design prior to this (the Violator actually), but this is the one that finished out first. Yep, this marks the start of our own frames coming into existance. |

Vincent Price (not the Vincent Price... trust me, the Vincent Price never spent nearly as much time in the gym) had this beautiful Big Bear Venom Pro-Street built. He picked the color scheme and it turned out great. |

John Depoulis had this Big Bear Reaper built and he wanted to carry the flame theme over to the fabrication, thus was born the Savage Flaming Fenders o' Death. |

Ok, here's my first swing and a miss. We built a Venom Pro-Street (black with purple ghost flames) for Pantone, but somehow it escaped without getting any pics... Whoops. |

This Big Bear Reaper was the first bike we built for Barry. He enjoyed it so much, he later decided to have another bike built for his wife Lisa. |

Karelli's Big Bear Venom Pro-Street was next in line. Jason probably wins the award for most miles on his bike. Now here's a dude that's not afraid to ride. |

Garry Duke's Hulk themed Venom Pro-Street made V-Twin magazine in August of 2004. This bike really demonstrates how doing everything in-house can help pull a theme together. |

This was the first bike we built that made a major magazine. We did quite a bit o' fabrication to this Big Bear Venom build for Rick Chucci and it ended up in the July 2004 issue of V-Twin. |

Here's the story on this bike. It was built as a giveaway bike for Strut-Your-Stuff's charity drive. It was won by a gent in WV who, it turns out, didn't really want the bike (I know... I know). It was purchased by another dude who now has it for sale (he'd rather race his high-dollar Banshee). So far, it's never had tags on it!! |

Well, this is the bike that started it all for us. We had been doing custom paint for years as Savage Grafix, had built street rods, muscle cars, race cars, frame up restorations, and a bunch of other stuff we can't hardly remember, but never a motorcycle. Sean wanted to try one so a Goliath kit was purchased from Custom Chrome and away we went... |
