need new handle bars!!!! helppp

hiii everybody, i just bought a savage, its a sick bike but i hate the buckhorn handlebars.it is a stock 2003 savage 650, came with the buck horn bars on it. I really like those z bars that you see on some bikes. I was wondering how big of bars do you think i could out on the bike without having to change the stock cables. z bars that is. also maybe mini apes. how big can i go? also if anyone has any advice on what to do with the stock exhaust pipe.

Absolute maximum for stock cables is 13.5" rise apehangers, assuming you start with a Savage that shipped with buckhorn bars. Significant rerouting is required, replacement cables are suggested...

My 1998 wore apehangers for over a decade. It now has FL touring bars in 6 or 8 inch dogbone risers, in the stock base risers.

My 2003 has the same FL bars in 2 inch riser extensions, in the stock base risers.

2003 set up...

1998 with 15 inch rise apehangers...

1998 with 13.5 inch apehangers...

1998 with FL bar and dogbone risers...

I wonder if folks will now understand my referring to Savage/S40 as a "cute little toy motorcycle... Grin
