Peeling chrome maybe? Have you read reviews of each one and see what buyers thought?

Cost of having that nice etching to give the appearance of a sturdier build. Or that wider base might be superior stability. Or their charging more because theirs just look different. Your paying note here for the design rather than something that looks off a line.

Huge difference , the 2 pc unit is much better quality than the J&P china crap. Far cost how much are you willing to pay to not have a set of ape bars move on you ?

Or you can get made in USA that is more...but not that much more...still gotta buy a top clamp.

Or you could buy used OEM Harley...decent quality.

Risers are not a good place to have "china crap".
