I've been trying to contact Swatt for 2 weeks to exchange some mismatched clip-on risers, but have gotten no response.  Now I know why:

http://www.swattmotorcycle.com/

Leo Vince CF slip-ons, '01 SS900 fully adjustable Showa forks w/ST2 springs, rebuilt S4 shock w/Ohlins spring, 748 dog bone, Swatt clip-ons above the triple, Sargent seat, Duplicolor-Dark seat cowl, Rizoma grips, Techlusion TFI, SBK front fender, Evoluzione slave, BMC sport air filter, 14-tooth sprocket, Desmotimes caseguard, S2R side panels, Pantah belt covers, fake CRG LS mirrors, extra black zip-ties, right grip control imprint on tank, de-cannistered, Ducati Meccanica Bologna key ring

I'm looking on ebay now, but if they're selling, they're not using the Swatt name.

Yeah, my moto luck is outstanding.  The right bar is about 1/4" lower than the left bar, at the end.  Guess I'll have to get used to it...

Black, 3-1/2" risers.  I like them fine, but I waited too long to exchange.  It's too bad they're gone, their stuff is/was certainly robust and nicely made.

In what way are the risers mismatched? (you have a PM btw).

I'd like to see some options for riser clipons - bummer was going to buy some swatts for by sbk forks - so now I need riser clip ons for 53mm forks, what's the options - only speedy moto and perhaps apex (but I can't find any info on riser versions from apex..)
