Hey does anyone run apes on their Savage/S40 ?
I dig the look but want some input on how they feel when riding both at slow and high speed. Also what other mods will I need to make ?

thanx

8" babies on mine.  LOVE them.  Gonna throw a set on my other ride.  steers great at all speeds.

I have either put apes or drag bars with 6 or 8 inch risers on all the bikes I have had for over 40 years. You can't beat the comfort. As long as you don't go over 12" with short risers, they are very comfortable. Handling is great, and very quick in an emergency. As far as the twisties, I live on them. I love to scrape pegs. Apehangars vs short bars is your choice, just like setting up or crouching down on a roller coaster. When turning the bike around all you need is a little shoulder input, instead of your whole upper torso. I started out with "monkey bars" on my bicycle in the late 50's and just never quit.   Hutch

I had 15" apes on mine for a while.  Longer cables and whatnot to make it work, but I loved em.  I never had any issues with how well it handled.

I've been using these with stock risers, 8in. H bars from working class choppers. I still have the handling of drags and the ajustability of buckhorns.
