Cool bars but they're not Frisco...and have no risers at all.

My wife's 04 has 1" risers (which actually measure 1.5") with her Frisco bars

Only pic I have of it outside beside my 08 with drag bars (same risers)





Personally, I don't like tall-ish bars with tall-ish risers. To me it looks like you're bolting on parts to make them taller. If you're getting anything but chrome you can simply make them taller or shorter.

Here's a set of shorty frisco's I made out of some old bent apes.



I slugged & tapped the bottoms for no risers
