Default Yoke stem

Hi all,

hope this is the right section to post in.

I have bought a used Harley crossbones which has a Vulcan rake kit fitted. I need to revert it back to standard to suit the style of the custom I am building. I know it is a bit of a long shot but does anyone have a Standard yoke stem from a FLSTSB crossbones I could buy?

Kind Regards,
David.

Hi David, from just up the road! The chaps in here will probably wonder what a 'yoke' is, as they only know of things like 'brackets' and 'trees'! Here is a link to Vulcan's website. It might be worth contacting them direct, especially if they modify customers' bikes. Just be aware that importing stuff from the USA is darned expensive, both for shipping costs and UK import duties and taxes.

Not jacking your post but I'm also looking for one as I hate the way my bike handles.
I know I have to replace the Vulcan stem but finding a stock one is hard.
I'm sure other trees have the common spindle (stem).

There's plenty of dismantlers or bone yards here in the states.. I'm sure you can find what your looking for at half the price of new..
