Default Handlebar Risers

I am getting my 72 sportster ready to sell and the threads for the riser bolts pulled out when swapping the bars over. I would like to just replace the risers with the same ones and use the existing hardware.

I am having a hard time finding 2" risers with the bolt holes that are directly across from each other instead of angled. Any ideas? Thank you.

I do not understand this -> 2" risers with the bolt holes that are directly across from each other instead of angled

Are these stock risers? Can you post a pic? [We usually use PhotoBucket].
