Hello all!
Just curious to see what handlebars and/or risers you have. Perhaps specs and whether you had to change cables as well.

I'm a bit of a handlebar and riser junkie! I have high rise; low rise; drag bars; wide or narrow bars; and a couple of sets of "Z-Bars." About the only thing I don't care for are Ape Hangers.
But I suppose you would have liked to see bars actually on a Savage??? ...Okay...

Stock VulcanVN800 bars. Cables fit fine with no mods. I think they're 32 inches wide. I'm small so I needed lots of pullback and the extra leverage that wide bars provide to be comfortable on the highway.
That said, I'm thinking of going to some lower and narrower bars this winter, along the lines of some low vintage motocross bars. I'm doing less touring and more canyon riding nowadays on this bike.

Ten inch Harley mini-apes. No cable replacement just re-routed them before I put on the Girder front end, then I had to change to cable operated front brake because stock wheel with disk wouldn't fit on front end.

Stock risers with Biltwell Frisco bars. No mods other than drilling hole in bars for controls.

Hey Demin, that second pic. What is the name of those handle bars? I was looking at a pair at my local custom shop. Here they are called guidon. What are the dimensions of the handle bars, and did they require any mods?
