VN1700 Vulcan: match the suffix and the hydraulic component
Compare the model, the repair location and the part’s own application before ordering.
The clutch-plate application is divided by VN1700 suffix. A, B, C, D, E and J entries have different year ranges, so a general “VN1700 2009–2014” claim would be misleading. The plate is sold individually, with replacement reference 13088-0001.
The rear reservoir diaphragm is a different repair. It sits beneath the reservoir cap and is not the piston-and-seal assembly inside the master cylinder. Its listing covers VN1700 2009–2013 with reference 43028-1057. Identify the actual failed component before choosing a repair kit or seal.

Identify your motorcycle before orderingVN1700 Vulcan identification & fitment checks
- Record the full VN1700 suffix and year from the motorcycle identification before choosing the clutch plate.
- Identify the plate in the clutch diagram, compare its shape and stack position, and count the individual plates required.
- For reservoir work, confirm the rear location and cap outline. Distinguish a damaged diaphragm from an internal master-cylinder fault.
