Not sure about that myself

Do you need one with a longer stem Righteous ?

If you need to stay below the triple you can still ad more rise if you want

Yeah youre getting 4 peices like Righteous.

Actually what I was talking about is just adding 2 more of these same type of peices will open up endless possibilities.

My clipons arent ready yet. They will simplify and add other stages & options not discussed yet

You can see where it would've been in this pic. The bottom one.
THe top ones were some he got from me before I started using set screws but there's no need for them on the clamp that just holds the bar.

No thanks, Frankie! She's setup fine!

Yeah....I opted to not use 'em. After thinking it out.....I would rather they spin, and not bend stuff....AND....if they did spin w/ the set-screw in.....it would gall up the aluminum, and make it a bitch to get them apart. Works great w/out 'em! Nice to have the option, though!
