Default Handle bar risers

I decided to take the plunge and order my apes from BR Custom cycles. I'm gonna go with 20s and 1.5 diameter. Before he starts making the bars I have to make sure I can find a set of risers that will fit 1.5 diameter bars but I'm having a hard time finding them.

I want to stick with the spike theme (most of you guys know what my bike looks like). Can any of you guys point me to a web site where I can look for some risers

I would guess the crossbar would be 1 1/4 but not sure I would check into that.

yeah, he told me we could go with 1 1/4 for the bottom tube but i would like to keep the same diameter throughout the entire bar (it looks a little more trick that way). Don't think

I just took a couple of measurements just to be on the safe side and i think 20's are going to be a little too much. i'm gonna scale it down to 18 instead. i'm gonna look into the weights to reduce vibration, never even though of that. thanks pal o' mine !!

gonna look at those sites you mentioned.
