Concerning Grips & Footpegs
02/17/06 at 13:09:52
 
in the process of rebuilding my bike, painting, cleaning and replacing, i would like to replace all four footpegs and both grips.  Browsing ebay i seem to find grips that will only fit a 1995 savage or newer.  Same issue with some of the footpegs, or the seller tells me they don't think they will fit a savage.  What do i need to know so i can purchase the correct pegs and grips?  handlebar is 1" correct?

here are some pegs i was interested in..

Diamond Footpegs

would those fit? the seller told me they wouldnt...
here are the grips i wanted to match:

Chrome Grips

I'm wondering about those pegs too. I'd like to replace mine but I'm curious about the fit. My pegs have this birdbeak looking prong on the ends that support the weight & without it, seems like they'd droop down. But I've never seen aftermarket pegs with those prongs.

Highway Hawk makes pegs that fit the Savage.  Bikercom.com sells HH (although for some reason my browser isn't working too well on their site today).

I bought pegs that would fit a Harley after reading on Bert's site that they would work - they didn't.  It may be you could get the passenger footpegs to work (replacing the mounting bolts) but the front - Babbalou is correct about the prong - Harley pegs don't have it and just flop downward.  A work-around may happen on the right side, but the left side isn't going to without a bunch of work since it's intergrated with the kick stand mount.  I eventually put them on my wife's bike as highway pegs.

I have Sportster pegs on my Savage...If I remember corectly (im old)  You have to flip them left to right and turn them upside down...also drill out the mounting hole...Savage has a larger mounting bolt..

If you can,get big diameter grips. I have 38mm now and they are much better than the old 33mm ones.

The 6240 is the correct model for the Savage for the grips.  U will need to shave your throttle sleeve's ridges so it is a snug fit but not too tight.  They give ya some adhesive that works great.   U can get helmet locks for them as well as end caps and even a throttle boss (kinda like cruise control and u rest the palm of ur hand on it).

official website


helmet lock website


As far as the pegs and ect Im not sure.  Check www.ebaymotors.com for the best deal.  I saved over 20.00 off my grips when i ordered them there with stilleto end caps.

here is a pair for 45.00 +5.00 shipping. not too shabby
