sharon Junior Member Offline love life Posts: 98	running boards 10/11/06 at 17:21:01 I'm looking to put some running boards on my s40. I know Highway hawk makes some. How much is involved in installing them. I'm looking for something simple and everything I need comes in the box.

I seen them for the Savage up to 2002. Is there any difference in the 02 Savage and the 06 models for the fitting of the boards? ???

Hey a centerstand comes in handy for oil changes and lubing your chain. I know u dont have chains but on my new bike I do. Plus its more stable on different terrian than using a kickstand.

Also I did install a cigarette lighter for several reasons
on my old Savage.

I smoke and occasionally need a light.
I had a cig adapter for my battery charger much easier.
I had a cell phone charger for emergencies.
If I wanted to run something like a radar detector.

Hmm running boards only belong on trucks tho.

Just joking, nice looking running boards, they would be great on a long ride.

Do those running board thingies pivot up when you accidentally drag them going around a turn? Or are they hard/stiff firm-mounted (making them possibly a bit of a hazard in a heavy lean turn situation ??)

Yeah, I know -- Harley's can't ever drag their side boards. But we can and do drag standard pegs on occasion on our more limber neat little Suzie thumper cycles.

Those foot boards look to be a good bit wider than a peg, too. If they actually mounted on the same spot ..... Eeeerrrunch !!
