And you think she's gonna give you a good price?  

If they're gone for 5 weeks,  I would think you would have to wait anyway. How would you do the title transfer?

5 weeks,...... that's like first week of April...  perfect riding weather    

Get the money together, bank it and make some interest.   Then in five weeks if you decide you don't like the bike, find another.... an April test drive is usually nicer....

Perfectly normal. The stock seat is a torture device. You can do the seat lift mod, put on a stock Sportster seat, or get an Airhawk pad. The stock seat is horrid. The rest of the bike is great! Exhaust, rejet, and some improvement in the seating and you'll have a great bike.

Good luck on your quest. Ride safe when the roads aren't very good. Don't want to wreck the bike before it's paid for.

Keith, here is pic of me on the Savage with no seat mod and taller bars. These bars are 12" high with 1 and1/2" risers. As you can tell the bike is on the kickstand. If you bring my right arm down halfway to the left arm that is where your arms are at when the bike is level. Your arms are at shirt pocket level, and your back is straight from not leaning back, like with the stock buckhorn, or the pullback drag bars on the S-40. As I said I am 5'10" and 150lbs.   Hutch  I'm watching the travel channel since it is mid winter here in the great state of Michigan. You can always pretend.

I did not have to lenghten the wiring at all, that was a good thing. The throttle was made 3" longer, and the clutch and front brake line were both made 7" longer. That was for the S-40 drag bars. The cables on the buckhorn bars are a different length so I don't know about them. Lancer can give you an idea about that. That is who I ordered them through. They are made by Barnett. The end of the throttle cable is different from the drag bars where it hooks into the throttle grip at the bars also. If you have different cables made, be sure to specify if your bike is a Savage or a Boulevard S-40 to get the correct throttle end. The one thing that I realy like about the bars(I use apehangars a lot) is that you no longer steer with your entire upper body. All you have to do is straighten your elbows or nudge your shoulders for quick moves. With stock bars it is like steering an old tiller type boat and pushing the bars sideways. I found that out years ago when I was a kid, and had a bicycle with banana seat and monkey bars. It was much easier to steer than the low bars on my buddies bike. As long as you don't go nuts and get 14" or higher bars(I did that) they are very comfortable and much easier to steer with. Just my 2 cents. I will post another pic from a different angle. They look real high, but are not as you can tell from where my arms are at when I am seated on the bike. Another reason I like those type bars, is you can roll your leather jacket up and put it between the cables and bars without using bunjie chords. That comes in handy in the spring and fall in Michigan. Hutch  

Keith, unfortunately the pic was taken last fall. We still have 10" of snow with 5" more coming tonight. At least the first 2 foot melted down finaly. Right now about 10' in front of where the bike is parked in the picture, there is a 8 foot pile of snow. When you drive in my drive way you have a wall of snow on each side that was shoved off the drive.The scaper actualy got down to the ashphalt 2 days ago in front of my house. I haven't seen the asphalt in 3 weeks.  Hutch
