Title: Boulavard S40 risers on pre-'05 Savage
Post by MileHiRider on 01/11/13 at 07:21:02

Does anyone know if this would work?
I'm thinking of changing my old style handlebars on my '04
to the new style drag type bars.
Thanks!

Yes, this will work. I put s40 bars on my 03 Savage. I used Highway Hawk risers instead for looks as sugested by another member in the Tech Section, but they were pricey ;). However, my Savage windshield no longer fit and I went with s40 mirrors for better visibility. I think you will like the s40 bars a lot better.

You should have no problems.
All years interchange (bars, risers)
buckhorn cables are about 1" longer than drags.

Thanks for the info Sarge, how tall were the risers you used, and are they a "pullback" type? Did you also use S40 bars?
Yeah, the aftermarket risers are expensive and the thread size is wrong
so I'd have to get adapters, for another $20.
I'm thinking I could find a used S40 riser for less.

I bought a pair of Highway Hawk 4" risers, model# HH-56-0341. They have about a 1" pullback. They were a little ;) pricey at just under $105 shipped but they went on and look great. These mount with 10mm bolts that come with the risers. They come with shims for 7/8" bars and some other washer parts that I didn't need. NOTE: If you order these make sure you are ordering the 10mm version because they make a 12mm and it is easy to get confused. These risers have a better chrome finish than the stock s40s and look well made and beefy.Good luch whichever way you go.
