Title: Phil's Wedges
Post by: alexx45 on May 18, 2011, 10:02:46 AM

I just recieved a set of Phil's wedges. I have one question before installing them. I currently have a set of 1 3/4 heli bar risers on my 09 connie. When I add the Wedges to this set up, if I'm reading the instructions right, the wedges go directly under the handle bars, on top of the risers. Is this correct?  :-\

Either or...I have two sets on each handle bar...one on the bottom, one on the top!  Just perfect handlebar riding position!

Definitely on top of the risers and under the stanchion. Phil

Thanks Phil that's what I thought, but it never hurts to ask.

Sorry for the dumb question, but do these wedges simply give more pull back? I want to get the Heli risers, but wish they had just a bit more pull back. Any chance of a link?

The wedges don't change the bar pull-back much, what they do is tilt the stanchions in toward the steering bearing, this raises the bar-ends over 1" and makes the bars more horizontal.
This photo shows the differtent bar angle caused by the wedges. (http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc213/philipintexas/Wedges/WedgeEffectJul2010.jpg)
