You might just want the risers and drag bars from a later Savage....they are nice, and I believe more comfortable than the pullbacks.  I am not sure what year they switched.....but you should be able to find some in the Marketplace on this forum - or eBay.  Anyone converting to a Cafe' bike will not be using the stock risers and bars.

Thanks for the info.  In case I can't find the new s40 drag bars, do you know where you got yours ?

I got them for about $40 from a custom bike ebay store here in Australia. Just do a  search on ebay for 1" bars. Or, check Blue Collar Bobbers, they'll sell you a bar and risers for $160 ish, or Dime City Cycles. The stock drag bars are from 2005 on, I think?
Good luck.

The back mudguard (Ok, fender  Wink ) came from a classic/custom shop in Melbourne. It's just a generic full length 6" wide thing. I trimmed it down, welded a few mounting tabs on, drilled holes, painted and there it is. Had to make some stays as well. They attach to the swingarm via the axle nuts.
This one http://www.dimecitycycles.com/6-inch-wide-raw-steel-flat-front-or-rear-custom...  is pretty similar, maybe a bit deeper on the sides. Other guys use a trailer fender, right?
I saw in another thread you asked about seats. FWIW the one on mine, and the brackets, I made from scratch. If you like I can explain how I went about it.

I just received a 2013 S40 and the curved risers push the bars back too far for the length of my arms.

I am looking for suggestions for risers and I don't want to make homemade risers. Also, I really don't want to change the cables and brake hose if possible.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Guys,

I thought of turning the risers around, but I cannot picture what it is going to look like.

If someone that has done that and would post a picture I would really appreciate it.

If no one sends a pic I will turn my risers around and post some pics on here. I will then decide if that is what I want, and either way I will post that revelation .

Serious Thumper Thank You!

I don't really care for the appearance of reversing the risers now that I see it.

I think I am going to try machining the risers so that only the straight section remains and see how I like the position of the handlebars.

If I don't care for the modifications described above I have SuperBars on my Blast and Ryan told me that their SuperBars will work with the stock risers just by ditching the riser extensions.

Thanks,

Kenny G
