Title: running boards
Post by sharon on 10/11/06 at 17:21:01

I'm looking to put some running boards on my s40. I know Highway hawk makes some. How much is involved in installing them. I'm looking for something simple and everything I need comes in the box.

these appear to be a bolt on, specifically for the savage. it cant get any simpler, remove a bolt, remove the peg, place the board, replace the bolt.

I may be thinking of boards for my S40 also. I seen them for the Savage up to 2002. Is there any difference in the 02 Savage and the 06 models for the fitting of the boards?
???

not that i'm aware of. this bike has remained relatively unchanged since it was introduced 20 yrs ago. most noteably a 5spd in '95?, then handlebars and seat when the started calling it an S40 instead of SAVAGE, '04?

Thanks for the info. I didn't think so, but thought I would ask the "experts" to make sure.

Hey a centerstand comes in handy for oil changes and lubing your chain. I know u dont have chains but on my new bike I do. Plus its more stable on different terrian than using a kickstand.

Also I did install a cigarette lighter for several reasons
on my old Savage.

I smoke and occasionally need a light.
I had a cig adapter for my battery charger much easier.
I had a cell phone charger for emergencies.
If I wanted to run something like a radar detector.

Hmm running boards only belong on trucks tho.

Running boards and a cigarette lighter, what's next another cylinder and a comfortable seat ;D. Just joking, nice looking running boards, they would be great on a long ride.

Do those running board thingies pivot up when you accidentally drag them going around a turn? Or are they hard/stiff firm-mounted (making them possibly a bit of a hazard in a heavy lean turn situation ??)

Yeah, I know -- Harley's can't ever drag their side boards. But we can and do drag standard pegs on occasion on our more limber neat little Suzie thumper cycles.

Those foot boards look to be a good bit wider than a peg, too. If they actually mounted on the same spot ..... Eeeerrrunch !!
