Phil's Wedges
« 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!

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.
