Default Need help finding risers...

Hey all! I'm in the market looking for a set of risers for my 09 Nightster and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for at a good price... believe me, I've done searches, google, etc.

What I'm looking for is a narrow (non "fat" look to them) pair of straight 3" risers (preferably in black so I don't have to shell out some loot to have em powder coated) with a NON-staggered bolt pattern.

The ONLY risers I found that REALLY have the look I'm going for are the Roland Sands Design 3" risers that are actually available in black. ONLY problem is their $170.00 MSRP price tag attached to them, and they don't even come with the mounting bolts for that price!!! WTF is that about!?!?!

Now, I reaaaaally don't wanna have to go and drop that kind of money on a set of risers... but am I going to have to??? If anyone knows where I can get a set of 3" straight risers that has the same look as the RSD risers, but at a more affordable price, please PM me and point me in the right direction. Thanks all!!!

I have a set of 4 inch risers in black. I just replaced them with 6in. They are a little scuffed, but nothing a shot from the rattle can cant fix. Drop me a PM and we can work out a deal. I also have a set of Brand New still in the box set of 4inch risers that are vented. These are the exact same risers I have. If you are interested let me know.

Here are some I just saw in the J&P Cycles catalog. Alot cheaper.

You'll still have to paint or powder coat em black but it's not very expensive to have that done.
