Hello all, I'm looking to replace my existing (pull back, not drag style) handlebars for my savage and just need some quick guidance. I know that the bars are 1" in general but are they 1" throughout? Are there any other tips about the stock bars I need to know before buying another set of bars or can I just get a 1" bar. Essentially I just want something that is going to stretch me out a bit, lower my hands and widen them some. Nothing as drastic as a drag bar but something with a bit of a rise and much less back bend.

thanks in advance!

Thanks for the tip about the tank, what is the 30 you speak of refer to? Im 5'11" myself btw.

Would this work?

30" wide end to end
those are 2.5" rise, not quite enough, but similar to my 1st bars.

You can fine tune the height after you get them with some home made or commercial risers.  Our risers are attached to the tripple tree by thru bolts.  You can raise the bar clamps up with some spacers and new thru bolts.  There are a lot of things we can use for risers, 3/8 drive 3/4 sockets work and come in standard length and deep socket length.  Just get 2 matching.

BTW, the thru bolt is metric, just a shade larger than 3/8 and doesn't go thru 3/8 drive sockets.  But 3/8 bolts work fine instead.
