Default Help Choose Risers
I'm looking for some 4" Risers for my Train. These are 2 that I have my eye on but can't choose which one's I like more. So I need you guys to help me out please. If there is something else out there that you like then post them up.

Thanks!

Here are the 2 sets I am looking at. They will be powder coated Satin black to match the rest of the powder coated parts.

Between the two I like the second choice, the round billet risers.

Both risers are very nice. Just make sure that you don't need pullback risers, like I did. I didn't really need height, I needed the reach.

I like this set, they look industrial and fit the train. What bars are you mounting on them?
