Urgently Needed

Had a slight mishap - now have very floppy handlebars.

Anyone got a pair of handlebar risers to fit my VN1500 - I'm pretty sure they're 1" bars - I'll check in the morning.

Front bolts in each have pulled out, assume thread is stripped and rear bolts are probably bent.

Might be able to get them helicoiled - anyone recommend anywhere in Lincolnshire area?

Gotta be on ferry to Belgium on wednesday :(
(needa new front mud guard eventually - should be able to bash it out for now)

Thanks for the tips. Got the bolt holes helicoiled. All bits replaced.
Did a test drive, not sure if front wheel is straight so off for a second opinion tomorrow. Handles all right though.

:rolleyes:

Slackened top yoke bolts, turned yoke, all straight now - phew
