Do you need to modify the cables or hoses with the risers and wedges? I already have the risers and the cables and hoses seem a bit tight.
I put a set of wedges on my Heli Bar Risers and I am still running the stock lines on my 09 C14. Since Phill did not supply bolts for the risers I changed the 80mm long bolts that came with my risers to 90mm. Love the combination & it works great for me.
The 90MM long bolts for using the "other" guys 2 inche risers are in now. I hope my webmen will have it listed in the nexy day or two.

And here I thought I was going to make it a few weeks without spending any money on farkles.
I'd like to offer a caution to everyone who has the wedges and plans to install them in conjunction with riser-blocks. The wedges must be placed on TOP of any riser-blocks. Since the bolts fit snugly through the riser-blocks, tilting the riser by having the wedges underneath, will cause the bolts to be tilted also and they won't be perpendicular to the top-clamp. This might bend the bolts or damage the threads in the top-clamp. It may also affect tightening the bolts to the correct torque.
You'll need 6 ea. 35 mm long. The holes go all the way through the top-clamp so the bolts can be on the long side.Thanks. What is the specific type of cap head screw needed for strength? are these available at someplace like Lowe's? McMaster-Carr has packs of 25 and up.
I believe people have used the Techmount, the holes still line up the same, the counter-bores may be snug.

This brings up a question, I was told by a hardware sales person that ALL stainless steel bolts were grade 8 or higher. Does anyone know for sure if this is true/false??
