SUZUKI BOULEVARD S50 VS800 risers/yoke, will fit our S40

UPDATE -
Quote:

couple of "adjustments" you need to be aware of:

You will need to adjust your controls, and mirror mounts. The controls are JIS phillips screws (the funky japanese screws) BE CAREFUL, they strip easily if you don't have the JIS screwdrivers.
http://www.amazon.com/Hozan-JIS-4-JIS-Screwdriver-3rd/dp/B00A7WAHTU

The mirror mounts are METRIC allen heads. Easy enough to loosen and adjust the mounts.

Watch the bar centering in the dogbone. You will see the alignment dimple is now a bit wonky and any discoloring from the original mounting should help get it right.

another tip - I used a piece of cardboard box folded in half to give me enough clearance on the controls over the gas cap, right-side.

norm92de,

I purchased as a set (US $23.95), with everything off eBay. All 1992 - 2004 SUZUKI INTRUDER VS800 VS 800 HANDLE BAR RISERS MOUNTS will fit our bikes.

It takes a LOT of parts to get the complete setup. I wound up using just part #'s 10 & 16-19 from the eBay set and my original DOG BONE and TOP clamps.

Here's the OEM microfiche,

and PRICES from BikeBandit - YOU WILL NEED 2x of every part # here (so it's WAY less expensive if you buy used)

10: STAY HANDLE
1099515 56231-38A50 $39.81 $34.63
16: DAMPER, RUBBER
1099534 56240-38A42 $35.11 $30.55
17: CUSHION,RUBBER,
1099557 56242-39A12 $30.20 $26.27
18: WASHER
1093424 51354-38A40 $6.06 $5.70
19: NUT FINAL GEAR
1024600 09159-10027 $2.41 $2.41

Looking at the drawing it looks like I would only need 2 of part #10. Any bolts etc. would be available from hardware stores. I did something similar on a Triumph and it worked very well using 3/8" bolts. Am I missing something?

Norm93de,
you MAY need part #'s 16 & 17, if your originals are too small. On ours, there's a metal insert in the rubber, which is removable, but I didn't bother with. Your mileage may vary.

And use some sort of lube (wd40) on the posts and grommets, she doesn't like a DRY insert, and leave the grommets loose, once they're wrenched down you ain't inserting the risers, no way no how.

My S40 risers just slip off if the nuts are removed. There is a spacer in there but I didn't need to remove it.
