Just receved my drag bars and 4" risers. I ordered everything off Ebay. I am getting ready to do the install on my 02 Savage this weekend. I'll post pictures of steps.  The risers that I got are really fat and robust. They accept a 1/4 inch bolt. Does anyone know if I will have to drill the trees and or bushings?

thanks

i was looking to try the same thing, this is what i ended up doing.  i went with the standard riser and got a set of drag bars from Krome werks that has a 2.7 inch rise. and 5 inch pull back.  they will be sweet. right now i've got it "mocked" up with a pair of 7/8 in bars of the gn400  i'll post pics when complete.

good luck on the risers,  hey and git.  did you get to put the machine in the bathroom yet?  

 I replaced the stock risers and bars with harley 27" drag bars (1" diam) and 4" harley risers. I appologize 100 times but I have no pics. The camera is busted.
 The biggest issue was to convert the bushings and spacer inside the bushings to accept a 1/4 inch bolt. The way I see it is, there are 2 options.
 Option 1. Pay a machine shop to mill the bolts so that 1 side is 1/4 inch (fine thread) to fit inside the risers and the other side is that of the stock suzuki bolt. This way you can retain the factory bushings and spacer.
 Option 2. Replace the factory spacer that will accept a 1/4 inch bolt and reem out the bushings a hair to accept the new spacer.

I opted for option #2 because all the machine shops were closed. If I could do it again, I would probabaly go with options #1 . Although it took me all day, it worked great, looks great and is strong and safe. Here is what I did.
1. remove stock bars & risers.
2. Remove the stock bushings from the trees.
3. Remove the stock spacer inside the bushings.
4. Go to home depot and buy a 1' section of 7/16 O.D. steel pipe from the plumbing section
5. Drill out inside diameter of the pipe with a 1/4 inch drill bit then cut it to length. This is your new spacer.
6. Used a dremel grinding attachement that measured about 7/16 to widen the Inside of the rubber bushings to accept the new spacer. This really stinks. It makes a burning rubber smell througout your garage and leaves dirty rubber residue all over the place. BUT IT WORKS!
7. Re assemble new risers, slightly enlarged bushings and new spacer with new bolts (1/4' fine thread)
8. handlebars go on like normal.
9. DONT FORGET THE THREADLOCK!

Here is the link to the risers that I used. They look so freaking sweet!!

Pictures of the bars to come! As soon as I pony up for a new camera

I know that dog bone risers will fit. I just happen to not prefer that look.

That chopper kit is downright Nasty! I would love to bolt one of those babies on my front end. I saw them online for fourteen hund-o. Is the kit really complete? And truthfully, how does it handle?

Well, when you put it like that, I guess the only thing left to do is decide what to sell.

here's the pic of the 7/8th inch mock up drag bars, 1 inch bars should be here friday.   the ends will just miss the tank in a "to the stop" turn.  i like that position much better than the pullbacks.  it feels like an old schwinn bike with the wide rounded handlebars.



now of course with 5 inchs of snow outside the garage i'm not riding it anywhere.  

and when i do.   look out dogs.  i'm on the loose

and here's thumpers new model classification DK650C
thats "dog killer 650 chopped"  

LOL, that's just wrong.
