Probably not but I don't know as I di not install them. There was a user here, Big John, who installed these risers and he just unclamped the cables and he was good lock to lock. That said, I learned a new trick from the owners over in the NC forum. Run the cables behind the triple clamp and you have all the room you need. That is true for the NC, so presume it will be the same for the VFR.
