2011 Vn1700 riser help

kimsparky · 08-04-2014, 03:10 PM

I need risers with about 4 1/2" up and 2" back. The ones hte dealer installed hit the instrument cluster when I turn the bike. Anybody got a suggestion or risers that will not hit?

I use the 4.5 inch straight scootwork on mine works great

And I have Chuckster's risers on my VV, and they're perfect.

To entirely eliminate any touching of the instrument cluster by the bars, I drilled the stopper right through, and screwed / loctited a self-tapping screw in each side. Slightly less steering lock equals no touching whatsoever.

I ordered the Scootworks extenders for my '11, link has some pics of them installed.

What model Vulcan is it? Classic? Nomad? Vaquero/Voyager? If it is a Vaq/Voy, you will have to be very careful about any risers or bars you put on it. The lack of clearance to the fairing will severly limit you to what you can put on it. i would suggest contacting Dmyers (a couple posts up) about having him make you bars to your specs. Several people here have his bars, and all you hear is great stuff.
