New stem slips right in by hand. No pressing or banging needed. Voila; it's inline!

Hi Chillo,

I have this Crossbones with this rake kit fitted which I am trying to put it back to standard. Do you have the original stem from the conversion hanging around by any chance?

Kind Regards,
David.

I'm considering lowering mine with this:
Amazon Amazon

I'm wondering if it would be a bit too much to use it in conjunction with the Vulcan rake kit: https://secure.vulcanworks.net/store...-Rake-Kit.html


I'm looking to bring the front end down to mimic the old WWII Harleys WLA,UA, etc.. I already purchased the fenders and need to order the 18" wheels.

I can't get Vulcan to send me the instruction so I can make a decision. Can I please get a copy from you ?

I'm going to put mine back to stock.
If someone wants to swap a stock stem for a Vulcan 7.5 degree model contact me.
