Default Are all Risers created equal?

Waiting on my Wild1 Apes to arrive (12.5") so now I need to buy a set of Risers. I'm looking to do about 1"-2" rise.

I've seen alot of Risers advertized and they seem to go for anywhere between $75-$100.

I see some on Ebay going for $25 -$50 and some are new.

Should I be looking for any quality issues here?

Yeah, I know my life depends on these but is there a difference other than over charging?


Thanks..

I have a Deluxe as well and I went with Wild1 risers in addition to Wild1 knuckle bars. I think that you get what you pay for when it come to risers and the Wild1's seems to be aquality product. You might want to compliment your bars with the Wild1 risers. Good luck....

I bought the Harley 1.5" risers. They work just fine. If I could do it again I would go with the Buffalo risers because they are thicker and match the 1.25" chubby bars better.

Anyone ever hear of White Brothers? I see that they have a set of Burly 1.5"Risers for 1" Bars

Not trying to skimp but would like to stay within a budget here so I can also Chrome the front end as well hopefully soon.
