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 wonder if you can reverse the wedges to get the bar angle lower?"
The wedges are made in Left & Right sets that fit the base of the stanchion so they can't be reversed. However the wedge shape could probably be cut in the opposite orientation to produce the same amount of lowering at the bar-ends. I never tried that because I was trying to solve my individual problem caused by the twist in my wrists. I tried having the angle toward the rear but the effect wasen't worth the effort.
I'm pretty sure Murph will be offering them as soon as possible. Since my set was professionally made and packaged I think he must be pretty close to production. I don't know who or how he got the angled washers made to such a high degree of finish, but they were a real PITA for me to make. Kudos to his supplier.
Murph...tease? no way
I didn't want to cut these loose till Phil was home. Plus I had to order the bolts from Germany as it was the only place that had the OEM spec bolts in the lengths needed. I'll have bolts to be used with just stock bars and bolts needed to run our risers. I hope to see my bolts here by Tuesday. If someone can supply me with the lengths of bolts supplied by risers taller than ours, I'll source them as well.

MrF.
Are there any markings on the head of the bolt? Anything like 10.9 or A2?

Bolts that came with my Heli risers (2" rise) are approximately 3-1/8" to the bottom of the socket head and have a thread length of 1-1/8"
