I prefere the second set you showed. I think they look great.

Floorboards have to be custom mounted. Highway Hawk used to make a set for the Savage, no idea if they still do. Doesn't matter, their parts were always overpriced trash.

If you are going for iso-pegs, get the Emgo knock-offs for 1/4 or less the price (made in the same factory in Taiwan or Korea). I've had Kuryakyn parts on the shelf that you could read the Emgo label through the Kuryakyn one...  

Winsdshield? How tall are you, and do you want to fight with a bargain basement bar mount, or get a good solid fork mounted version? And you look OVER a bike windshield, not through it. Sit on your bike, hands on the grips, kickstand on a piece of 2x4. Have someone hold a yard stick out from your nose, measure from yard stick to top of headlight bucket, subtract 1-2 inches. That is the height you want to get as close to as you can.

Hello Afan, it's the wacky whacko again  

I agree with Serowbot, footpegs allow you to flex your ankle and "do things"; floorboards... you probably can't even stand on them as you float over a pothole etc.

Go for footpegs which must be at least as wide as the widest part of your boot (normally, at the balls of your feet) and as thick as possible.
Not only will "thin, wiry" footpegs prove to be weak and give way under stress, they are also uncmofortable on long rides.
You want nice, thick, chunky footpegs.

Engine guard.
There should be something available specifically made for the Savage/S40.
Make the best of it and fit small bullet lights for nighttime country riding - when there isn't enough light on the road, just flick them on!

Windshield.
Ideally, the windshield should be as wide as your shoulders, and no higher than your shoulders. You want the wind off your bust, but still have full visibility all around  
You want to look over it, not through it.
Imagine driving your car with a dirty, grimy windshield and no wipers  



Also, dirty windshields have the tendency to turn milky white if the oncoming cars in the other direction have the full beam on...

I have only ridden 2 bikes with floorboards.  I don't like having to lift my foot off the floorboad to get to the brake or shifter.  I much prefer my foot on a peg wth my toe on top of the brake.....all the time.  My opinion could change if i spent hours on a freeway going somewhere - but that is not the kind of rding I do.  My riding is country roads and in town......lots of shifting and breaking.

Ooooops......Lots of shifting and braking....and hopefully not much breaking!

I sure have been getting my share of typos and letters typed out of order lately!
