Before you order call and have them check the bolt threads.  What came with mine were sae not metric:  5/16-20 instead of m8-1.25.  The threads are virtually interchangable but won't go without recutting.

You may want to use some good judgement with those.  They look like what one of our members had that broke in half on him while going down the road.

They may work for you.

They are under compression the only parts that could break are the bolts.

Here's how they look installed.  Note the risers are factory original, this product is simply a spacer:

Skinner, this is probably the cheapest, easiest solution available for our bikes.  The installation is seamless and requires no rerouting of cables or hoses.

As for the bolts, if I were to do it all over again I would call Twisted Throttle, explain my recent experience (two weeks ago) and ask them to open the package and spin an m8-1.25 nut on the bolts to verify accuracy.  It's possible I had one-off bad luck and the rest were packaged correctly.

Bought these in 2011 from Ebay still on the bike. Just looked thru the listings and didn't find similar risers.
