It does not look like you used the washers that came with the wedges. Do the washers push the brake line to the limit?

How can you tell that?  The washers are not going to be visible...
You HAVE to use the angle washers to seat the bolts or it will not be strong and will not be safe.

I don't know how I can tell Max, it just looks odd.

I installed mine this afternoon,  I put the wedges under the adapters because the lines were to tight to go the other way. When I first sat on it to adjust the clutch and brake the position felt way better than before. I got everything lined up to my liking and took'r out for a rip up the hill. Went and ran some twisties and the bars felt great. I ran back down the hill for a short jaunt on the highway. Threw my feet up on the highway pegs and smiled, the position of the bars is way better for highway cruisin'. The verdict is still out on the sore wrist problem, I am going to have to go out for a 200 mile day and make that call. So far I am giving these two thumbs up and a z snap. :thumbs: :thumbs:

You aren't really supposed to do that, but I guess the adapters are about as thick as the bottom of the stock handlebar bases, so the geometry probably still works out OK.

Gumby,  Is it me or does it look like you installed the washers between the wedge and the adapter plates.  Looks like a gap between the wedge and adapter in your pics.  Or is there a reason for the gap being created by the adapters?

Well let's chalk that one up to lack of reading instructions. Thanks for pointing it out. Just got'r fixed and it is gorgeous day here in the PNW. I'm going riding!

I found this thread on that other forum and did it right this time.  :P
