I need to replace the handlebars on a 2003 savage. It has ape hanger chopper bars on it that previous owner tried to add on and the cables are too short and just not for me. Found several on ebay but for different year models than mine. Question I have is will all year models work on my 2003? I was looking at a 1997 handlebar

I think he was asking about stock bars.Yes all years interchange.And yes there are a lot of aftermarket bars that look good.Like Yoshi said ,as long as they are 1" diameter.Just becareful.if you have the short risers that came with buckhoen(pullback)bars drag bars will hit the tank.You have to put taller risers on for drag bars.
This is my '86 that came factory with drag bars.



This is my '87.Came stock with buckhorns.Look at the difference in the risers between the two.

Not to hijack the thread, but this fits with a question I have about handlebars as well. I have a 2001 and the handlebars on it are a weird sort of slant...for my wrists it's fairly uncomfortable...any ideas on a good set of straighter bars?
