Title: Handlebar height
Post by Angelis on 12/16/09 at 12:51:07

Hey everybody, I'm new here.

I've been thinking about buying a Savage/S40, and seeing as how I can never leave things well enough alone; I was wondering if someone could do me a quick favor. I've searched around for this info and couldn't find it anywhere.

Could anyone who still has a stock seat & handlebars measure the height difference between them, for me? Like handlebar-floor height, minus seat-floor height.

I usually switch out my bars, but the police around here(KW, Ontario) really hate handlebars that are more than 15" higher than the seat; and I'd like to know how much higher I can go.

Thanks a bunch; love the forum.

Welcome Angelis, Youll love a Savage. You wont believe the people who have them who have owned in excess of 20 bikes down thru the years & have settled on the Savage as their favorite all round bike.
You can look around at the mods done by the people here. Youll see the potential.

Angel,

Be advised that there are at least two styles of handlebars used on the Savage over the years.

Mine (see signature) has the "pullback" bars; these have a noticeable rise. Some other years feature flatter "drag" bars. The measurement you were seeking will be less than 13 inches for a bike equipped with the drag bars.
