Default Shortest, cleanest/smoothest risers?

I'm looking for options to clean up my bars this winter. Looking for options that blend tightly with wide glide trees. Very short inconspicuous risers or very short tee bars.

What are my options? Pictures appreciated!

TIA!

No risers. T bars or drag bars with right rise and pull back look clean and comfortable for long rides.

I'm looking for short. Very short. I like the knuckle bars and drag bars in 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 dia. I know they won't be ideal for long rides, but I'm fine with that. The Biltwell Big Buffalo bars look good but I don't like the matching risers. I like the LA Choppers tree hugger bars, too, but haven't seen any pics of the shorter styles on a bike.

Alloy Art has a very low profile riser/clamp I really like.


Alloy Art Black Single Bone Bar 1 in. Riser/Clamp for 1 in. Handlebars - BBC3-2

I saw that. I think its probably #1 or 2 ony list right now after the tree huggers. Just wish I could find some wide glide trees wearing the shorty tree huggers. They're too expensive to experiment with.

I like the Accutronix one, too...

LA Choppers brass shorty risers


I have these LA Chopper short risers for sale if it's something you like. I used them for about a month and went to something else. I have brass grips, so it was a little too 'blinged out' with both for me. I went with black RSD short risers instead. I run HD Hollywood (Slim) bars on my Street Bob. With the RSD brass grips / black riser it is enough 'bling' for me.

w/ black

Keep in mind with a 1 piece riser is if you are internally wired and if there is a passage for the wiring in the riser and bars you choose. My bars are carlini original drag bars. I know they do have some 5/5 and maybe less if you call. Not cheap though.
