OEM engine guard? Gee, I wish I had one of them last week, when I hit that big rock. Where can one get ahold of such a thing? If they are OEM, shouldn't there be one on the bike already? Anyone have a pic?

"engine guard" is more wishful thinking than actual description. Great place to hang pegs, but not a lot of good for protection. But, better than nothing.

You have the same grips as I do. I was curious about those pegs they look great.

I use Kuryakyn Longhorn Offset Highway Pegs w/ 1" Clamp (PN 7980)

Kinda expensive, but they give that extra 4" of offset so you can stretch the leg a bit.

Don't the pegs droop because of the angle of the engine guard?

Not really. First off, the angle is almost vertical where the pegs mount. Also, the mounts are adjustable every which way.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

They can be adjusted just about any angle that is comfortable. On the log stretches of Florida roads, they really help. One of the best investments you can make.

The bolts are to the front of the bike. I cant see them the brackets have an over hang and you cant see them. My Ubolts were covered by black shrinking stuff you cover wires with and a peice if duct tape where the bracket hits the frame so no damage happens to the frame if there shold be a vibration

Question one: If they are OE shouldn't the bike have them? To me OEM means that Suzuki built them or licensed them. Question two: Ejid Something about the "U Bolt". Ride to a hardware store and ask for a U Bolt, probably from 1/4" stock. All the stores around here let you take things outside to check the fit, or the sales person can measure the size in length, distance between the legs, and diameter of the bolt. The whole thing should be around $3.

BTW, my OE guard cost $95 at the dealer. I keep a book on most of what I buy or do to the Savage, so I can tell you what things should cost. I hope my wife doesn't find that book.

I bought it from suzuki after I got the bike. It's not an aftermarket part. Is that what you mean Boofer or am I misunderstanding the question?

Strictly speaking, he may be right, but I consider anything to be OEM if it is made for our bike by Suzuki or a manufacturer licensed by them to build it for our bike. Kuryarkyn is not OEM; it is aftermarket. jmo
