Ive tried to find a solid answer on this but not many people have done it, I guess. I’d like to add some aftermarket bars to my vision. Doesn’t have to be apes, but in order to add anything I seem to need to add small risers because no one makes or stocks actual vision bars anymore. I’ve messaged the places online that have them listed but all are out of stock with no return coming. Is there a certain size riser and bar I need to have in order to 1) clear the radio bezel 2) be able to bolt to the forks and attach parts? (Clutch, throttle, brake etc) is there another model victory that has the same bolts at the base of the bars that I could use?

Interesting.......so HMD and Vicbaggers are no help? What about Mafia Customs? Interesting times these post Victory years are.

@Cameron_zank Good question. I have been frustrated myself lately as well. I had a thought to get some of those Cadillac bars that HMD USED to make. Apparently nobody makes anything for the Vision anymore. It's making me think that maybe I am nearing the point where I just ride it out and make the eventual transition within a year or two. I don't know, we will just have to see. It's sad, but it is what it is.

I don't think anyone has tried using a riser on a Vision. You may the first! HA!

I've messaged everyone and no one has them. Vic baggers has them listed but don't actually have them in stock. I think if I can just pull the bezel off though and get the bars off I will be able to see what will fit. Mafia never emailed me back when I asked about a custom set.

Call Vicbaggers. Looks like a 4 week build time......but possible????

@corvelle did some wedge washers on his. That may be an option for you.

I bought a spare set and and had a street rod buddy of mine cut and extend them 1.75 inches, cleaned up the welds and had them re-powder coated.

You can gain two inches up on on a vision if you use wedge washers Between the Bars and the triple tree. I used two on each Bolt. When I bought some Mafia handlebars they were included in order for the bars to lay back a little bit. I turned the washers 180 degrees on stock handlebars and they work pretty well. Like I said raises them about 2 in and forward about 1/4 inch or so. can't go much more than that or they interfere with the radio console

On page 4 of the Victory Vision threads I have some pictures about how this worked called raising the handlebars. If I can help with any more clarity let me know

 

[Cameron_zank]

Does anyone possibly know the actual handlebar bolt size? There’s a Fastenal by me and I’m going to go get washers to see how high I’d like to go with bars but it needs to fit over the bolts obviously. Also, Brad at Mafia Customs LLC is super cool and still makes bars for the vision. Said he won’t stop any time soon.

 

[corvelle]

I don't remember the length of the bolts but if you go on any of the victory Parts sites and look at the fishe that bolt is listed including its dimension

Also the mafia custom bars are very high quality. I like mine very much. I would suggest that under construction they had maybe 8 to 10 degrees instead of perpendicular
