Default paul yaffe z bars

i want to put a set of these bars on my 04 deuce, however, after emailing the direct site the response i got was disheartening....they do not come pre-drilled for internal wiring (due to the pain in the *** associated with internally wiring z bars), that is not that big of a deal....however, i was told that they would not fit unless i purchased the ali baba risers to go with them and that doubles my cost....is this true? by the way im talking about the chopper style z bars

Z-Bars
Classic chopper style with a Paul Yaffe twist. Arched at the corners which creates a very clean fluid look. Hand made & assembled from 5 separate pieces these radical drag bars provide a comfortable pullback while maintaining a classic chopper profile. Each set is hand finished and then beautifully chrome plated. 27" wide with a 3" rise and a 9" inch pull-back.

If they are 1" any risers will fit.1.25" They have a few choices out there. I bought a similar pair off e-bay for 80 bones pre-drilled and ready to go.

Got these for $50 on ebay. Drilled with shoestrings run thru to pull the wires. Still a major pain to run the wires. Chrome looks good.
