Title: I have a page at Bikepics.com
Post by RG on 03/29/05 at 22:13:30

Just thought I'd let you all know that I now have a page at bikepics.com. It's not anything special, just a place to post some pics of my Savage (imagine that . . . bikePICS.com, hmmm). Anyway, if anybody else is wanting to get pics of your Savage on the internet, this is definately the way to go. It was one of the simplest picture posting sites I've ever seen. Here's the link to my site:

And just for fun:

My Savage at sunset.

Ryan,

Great sunset photo!! I went to look at your photos. The blue is sooooo nice!

Do those handlebars cause you to be more bent over when riding?

Thanks for the compliments! :) As for the handlebars . . . they allow me to stretch out. With the pullbacks, I always felt just a bit cramped up. I'd really like some forward controls, but there's no way I'm gonna shell out $400 for a set of those. If anyone knows how to make your own, please let me know. That's something I've been wanting to do for quite some time.

Nice looking bike, I was thinking of going to that type but ended up with something that had a 2 1/2 inch rise.
Here's the link to the pics.

Ryan,

I'm 5'7, so I thought maybe your style bars might cause me to have to reach too much! But then again, they almost look similar to the S50's and they are fine with me.

Nice bike, RG!

I too repainted, as you can see:

Ryan,

Let me know if you ever get a photo taken with you or someone else on the bike. I'd like to see what your actual seating position is with your bars.

I was actually curious what I looked like on my bike, so I had my cousin take this pic of me last summer. And by the way, I'm 5'10. I don't know if I ever mentioned that.

Here's a link to the pic:

Ryan,

THAT's what I am looking for! I'm 5'7, so might be a bit more of a reach, but looks much better than what I was thinking. I rode my brother's Ducati Monster and the riding position was wayyyy too leaned over for me.

I think your handlebars look great, and I am more confident that would work for me :)

Did you have to change your cables?

Tom

Post by RG on 03/31/05 at 11:24:52

Nope, I didn't have to change the cables. Keep in mind though that I put on 2 inch risers. Without those, the controls on the bars would have hit the tank. I had a crome tube that I cut and used for the risers.

Thanks Ryan, that answers my concerns!

RG, 5'10" with straight bars, Paladin, 5'8" with pullback bars.

A 2" height difference, should be a 1" difference in arm length; Ryan's leaning forward slightly while I am more upright/laid back.

Thanks for the comparison, Paladin. It's nice to see the difference side-by-side.
