I was looking at these grips for my 98 Savage: http://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Machine-Motorcycle-Suzuki-Savage/dp/B004TH666M/r...

No....you need to believe us. The handlebars are 1' diameter - and the throttle grip will be larger to fit on the throttle tube - but most places won't list the larger size of that grip.

The link you provides is for a Suzuki Savage A100.....not for an LS650 or S40. You have to be careful as Suzuki used the Savage name for the TS250...and it appeas for the A100 as well. Not all Savage bikes are the same.

Thanks Dave! That's why I always check with you people on here!

Too bad too! I liked those grips. Oh well, I'll find something else I like. Why can't they make it easy, huh?
