Title: handle bars
Post by tremblinjackson on 12/26/12 at 07:09:40

Might sound like a stupid question im trying to find out on a 04 savage what size are the stock handle bars 1inch or 7\8?

1 inch. If you plan to replace them make sure you order smooth bars, not dimpled. Dimpled bars are slightly oval in cross section, your switch boxes won't fit properly.

Sorry to contradict old boy but I read on here that dimple bars don't work on the savage and went round and round the houses trying to find some undimpled bars to me liking.
Then I just went "sod it" - bought some dimpled sportster bars off ebay and cor blimey.... they fit perfect.
There is no oval situation and all I had to do was drill a couple of holes in the bars for the tab that helps hold the controls on (20 mins job).
Cheaper knock-offs may differ but harley sportster are a go go.
They are also very comfy with well defined character.

I agree with Strang. Dimpled bars work fine.

Big Twin take off did not work fine on my 98. Neither did Krome Werks dimpled, Flanders dimpled or K&N dimpled. All of which are fairly pricey.

WD:
I have Flanders dimpled on mine and Flanders dimpled on an S50 and I don't know what you could possibly be talking about. The dimples do not sit under the clamps so what is the problem?

if you search for a specific name, if anyone has used it and lived to tell the tale, you'll find it.

chances are very slim, whoever did use it is sitting here waiting for you to come along.

You might want to try over at the chopper underground or chop cult.Alot of custom stuff there.And Zombie advertises on one of the sites.

I've never heard anything bad about them.I'm on those sites alot too.
