Title: Handlebar risers
Post by Bluejeanz on 06/30/05 at 19:20:24

Just completed putting a set of 98 Intruder risers on the Savage. It took a little modifying to make it work, but it looks great!

Anybody else put risers on their handlebars? I can't seem to find much discussion about it. What did you use?

I'm a little nervous about these only because I had to file off the little knobby thing and create my own grooves for the bars to grip. Also the Intruder bolt is much narrower than the Savage one.

Any tips?

They sure look great on there. If my hubby will stop riding for a minute, I'll snap a pic.

What is the little knobby thing you had to file-off?

I to installed Intruder risers, see here http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=RubberSideDown;action=display;num=1120066297;start=0#5

Resently found out the the Intruder 1400 risers are hollow and the electrical cables run through them.

When you installed the risers, did you take the rubber grommet thing from the Savage stock risers or did you use something else inside?

And the thing I filed off was a nipple right inside where the bars rest. Apparently the intruder bars have a hole in them for this to lock into.

The Intruder risers came with the rubber grommets. Which are exactly the same as the Savage.

There was no nipple inside the risers, so I can twist the bar and put it in any position I want.

I'm thinking about trying these out on my 96, anyone have experience with them?

Lowes eh? I've never been very happy with the quality of their bolts, etc but I like the idea. What did you use for the spacers, ratchets?

You can use anyone's stuff. I have a PDF file that I put together for someone else with part numbers and basic instructions. See if this helps.
