I've been getting down to writing some songs lately, and i've been having trouble connecting my main riffs. So I thought that I'd need some filler riffs inbetween to connect them, but I'm bot sure how to do this.

Help?
 
Incantations of the Apprentice by Symphony X has some filler riffs I suppose. Maybe listen to that and see what they use, for examples.
 
Do you mean transition riff? That would just be a modification of the first riff so that it ends on a chord closer to the sound of the second riff.
If you just want to write filler riffs, it depends on the style, but you could always just chug on the E and play the chords used in the first riff, then the same pattern but with the chords used in the second riff. Better off just coming up with a good transition, though.*
