I've started a teardown of my Suzuki Boulevard S40 (formerly called a Savage), and figured I'd document it on some of the forums that I frequent. Since I know we have a few bikers here, I thought they may be interested (and for the post whores, it's a free reply)... 
I removed all the extra stuff that I originally added... Windshield, highway/crash bars, sissybar and rails, etc... And now I've taken apart the rest of it. The rear fender is going to be replaced with a trailer fender. I've got it, but it needs to be trimmed, fitted, and mounted up.
Several things that need attention:
- the wiring will all be cleaned up a bit. Some of the wires need to be extended so that I can run them along the frame
- the stater solenoid and rectifier need to be mounted, but that's waiting until the fender is on (and I think I'll change out the current started power wire for something that I can move along the frame easier)
- get tail light and turn signals sorted out... I'm thinking of going with an integrated turn signal/stop combo LED light setup. There's a guy over on jeepforum.com that makes them for bobbers and they look pretty sick:
- install the 10" mini apes that I've got for the bike. Not sure that I'm sold on them yet, but we'll see how it goes. I can always swap back if I don't like them
- Ultima leather solo seat install, as soon as it gets off backorder.
A shot from another member that did the same thing on his Savage looks a little like this:
So - We'll see how mine turns out then.

It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.
