Or Harley-style directionals that hang off the underside of the bars?
Greg I've entered "Suzuki Savage" into e-bays search engine and from time-to-time I've seen a set of rectangular directionals, similar to those on the rear of your Savage, 'cept a bit smaller and these have clear lenses with amber bulbs ... they look pretty good actually.

That's it. The ones that hang on the bars....

8)Ha Greg ... you and I seem to be on-line at the same time! It's 6:30pm here in Nfld.
Speaking of wheels ... I know most here at suzukisavage.com prefer the laced look (I know I do), but it's too bad that aftermarket alloys and/or chromies aren't readily available for the LS ... I'd love to see what a set would look like ... plus, cast wheels would allow one to run tubeless tires ...
Greg I'll bet that those Harley bar-mount directionals would fit the Savage's 1" tiller.

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!

The aftermarket mirrors are pricey, though, and most say they aren't DOT approved. Bummer....

Normal stainless or chromed spokes are 80-100 bucks. And relacing one spoke at a time is a piece of cake. Just takes forever. -WD

WD, a guy up the street from me wears those twisted stainless spokes on his Softtail ... looks really good!
The coolest Spokes I've ever seen, I saw on either Corbin's Ride On or American Thunder last weekend ... looked like chrome bamboo shoots ... really wild!
Betcha that laces that looked like barbed wire would be cool too 8)!

I live on a farm and I've got tons of barbed wire around. How about lacing that stuff through and around the spokes. Wouldn't that look deadly?

My nephew has a cbr 600 and one of the supports for the exhaust broke so he WELDS a big chain onto the bike from the front of his exhaust to the back! Looks different, that's for sure!
