JohnsonLager Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 121	Requesting pictures- 10" and 12" Ape Han 07/25/14 at 10:59:41 Does anyone have pictures of either 10",11" or 12" ape hangers on their s40? I'm thinking about installing a set and I'm unsure which size to install. Also, please add if you had to install any larger cables. Thanks, Brian

I sat on my bike, closed my eyes, put my hands where I wanted them, opened my eyes and measured bars I needed. 10" Got them on, too wide, chopped 1.5" off the ends. I had buckhorns, the wires worked. Brake hose a stretch, need stainless steel braided anyhow. Stainless ty-wraps to keep it clean.

Mirrors were wrong, or I am too wide, didn't see full lane behind me so I went back to the stock mirrors.

I went with the apes for comfort. WD said they are. He was right.

13.5" rise, stock cables and brake hose, extended wiring. Savages are very small, very cramped...

Upgraded to 15" rise after my stepson destroyed the 13.5" rise build in a 35mph lay over...

Destroyed one of my shoulders (completely) in a 2/2008 bike wreck. Lost significant range of motion. Bike now has 6 inch AEE dogbones and late model FL touring bar...

I've had the orange bike since it was brand new. Have redone it several times, this will be its last incarnation. Electrical system had a massive failure in 2010. The bike needs to be finish wired so I can get off the 2003 long enough to make it better suit my needs/tastes in bikes.

On 2 wheels since 7/87
