Default Short Black Risers Recommendation

I am looking for 1.25" or 2" black risers for 1" bars. I don't need anything fancy... just well made. The RSD risers are nice but way more than what I want to pay for some risers. Any recommendations?

Look for a set of stock take offs from a sporty. Mine came with something like 1.5" or so black risers, ('00 XLH). Like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-HAN...1%7C240%3A1318

I had a set of Knuckle risers from Todd's cycle on my old bike. They are made right there in his shop and aren't Chinese/Taiwan crap. They are a quality part for sure.

Those seem like they would work just fine, as long as you don't have anything mounted to the center portion of your bars, (Speedo or idiot lights). No, they don't look like HD brand, and I have no idea who makes them. You could always contact the seller to ask for the brand & check on fitment to your scoot.
