Handlebar risers

Best bang for buck risers/bars?
bought a set of thrashin risers, they’re nice, but not $1400 nice, the exchange rate is fucking us at the moment too. I’ve run Chinese ones on a sportster that seem ok? But the small hardware into aluminium is asking for trouble, (I tapped out to a bigger, coarser thread and machined clearance for bolt heads) 
What have you tried? 10” risers, club style build

I've run 10" eBay ones like this before on a club style and they were fine. The billet ali they use is equivalent to A36 carbon steel so as long as they're single solid piece and the riser bolts go deep enough they'll be plenty strong. I think all of the 10" risers available will be ali?

Yep I've run these 10" aluminium ones a few years back and they were good https://www.getlowered.com/la-choppers- ... mp-bronze/

Similar ones available on eBay and Amazon for a little bit cheaper.

+1 for the good quality eBay/Amazon ones by a reputable seller! 
Can't go wrong with ali as long as they're the right spec and like you said if the riser bolts seat enough and the bolts themselves are also of good quality. 👌
