I like the drag bars on my '07, but they seem just a bit narrow for me,,, so I am going to a little wider setup...

Yeah I've thought about going for wider drag bars. I have long arms, might be more comfy, and it would prob look pretty tight as well.

I want to get a tkat installed first though.

My 1990 has stock drag bars.  My wife's 2003 had the buckhorns.  By far the better feel is the drag bars.

The drag bars are perfection for this bike.

I'm about 6'1 and didn't like the buckhorns - made the bike feel small and my elbows were almost in my lap.  

Bought a used pair of bars off a Dyna, and love the wider grip and the fact that i can now stretch my arms a little bit - much more comfortable.

Seems like the S40's stock drags are winning out over the Savage's stock buckhorns!
Have to say that back in '06 when I still had my '03 Savage, I had a chance to Ride an aquaintence's '05 S40 and I was very surprized at the improvement in comfort and handling the drags made over the bucks ... was like Riding a whole different Bike!

OK, so I deff dig the drag bars apposed to bucks myself.

but after seeing the bone straight BROOM's and wicked Z-BAR's look its kind of a toss up for me now...

I had my heart set on brooms, but would you need to put risers for the DRAG or BROOM type set up??

I would get Z-BAR's but I think it would need longer cables. . . and maybe risers. Im just lookin for a new handlebar thats straight and wouldnt need ANY risers off a stock 96' Savage! Cheesy
