Riser wedges

[bikerpipes]

I have two inch risers I was wondering if the wedges that go under them seams to make any difference or are they a waste of money.

I have the wedges with risers, they bring the bars closer to the rider.
I think it works for me.

They are supposed to straighten your wrists so they are in line with your forearms. Didn't work for me. If you really want versatility, look at the Heli Bar Horizon. If you have money to burn!

Angus, the wedges go on top of the risers, not below them.
Reason being {if you put them below the risers} the resultant hole angle would be too steep for the bolts to properly line up.

NOTE: I tried the wedges myself and took them off after only 1 ride. Didn't like the angle of the bars.

Ride safe, Ted

Worked perfect for my riding position...have 2 inch risers and I also have the AST relocator plate.  And yes they go under the handle bar bracket not the risers ...

I think they help. But nothing short of the Heli bars will make it perfect.

As ferris bueller said ...if u have the means, I highly recommend it...if I had an extra $700 laying around I'd get  the heli bar set up.  But I dont, so risers and wedges work for me...

You are just bent over naturally. And you like smashing the boys against the tank!

They make a big difference. About 1 inch higher at the bars. Moved back toward the rider some. Changes the wrist angle(that goes without saying). Now, whether you like em or not, well......everybody different.
