Default Looking at some new risers, opinions?

I'm starting to gather my winter parts that I want to install and am looking for some opinions on new risers. I want to stay with a close to stock height riser and I want a two piece top clamp. So far I am considering risers from RSD, Joker Machine, and Biltwell. All three come in black anodized. The Joker and Biltwell come in a polished finish, and the RSD and Joker also come in chrome. I'm not sure which finish to go with. Here are the links.

I've always really liked the Biltwell risers, the Flyrite risers are pretty nice too.

Custom risers could be cool. I'll have to think about that.

I am with Joe, go with true customs. Design your own, have him help you get them made. I made my own a while back, but shelved them when I went to T-Bars.

Since your bikes black, what about brass risers. Might look nice.
