Murph is a great resource!
What size bolts did you use with the 2-inch riser/wedge combination?
Bummer, just learned about Phil's wedges today and then I find they are not currently available (just checked Murph's web page). They sound like the perfect solution to getting a bit more rider comfort on those long days since I already have Murph's bar risers installed.
Are you sure you don't have some washers that fell under a workbench or got behind some stuff in the corner so you could make one more set? Oh well guess I'll have to check Murph's web site a couple times a day until I see them available.

I just returned home from an 8,500 mile trip through the western states, BC & Alberta Canada. Waiting fom me was a set of Murph's version of my wedges and I'm blown away by the finish and quality of workmanship. I wish I had been able to match that level of workmanship, but mine were hand-made and it's obvious his are professionally produced. I wish Murph all the success in the world selling these and I really appreciate the fact I don't have to make any more!
I tried to keep the wedges as thin as possible while maintaining a 6 degree angle, but adding the angled washers, you need 4 bolts about 1/4" longer and the outer 2 bolts about 1/2" longer. Depending on the additional length of the bolts that came with your risers they MAY work. At least you can probably try them with the bolts you have, just don't go nuts tightening them unless you have good thread engagement. You don't want to strip the top-clamp. If they work to your satisfaction then buy longer bolts.
stlheadake: The purpose is not to bring the bars inward, that's just a consequence of the tilt. The thing I was after was to relieve some of the downward angle of the bars. By tilting them toward the steering bearing, the bar-ends come closer to horizontal. This photo may help. The bar in the rear has the wedge under the base.
