The guy took my C.C. info a few weeks ago and I forgot about it.  Got a charge on my card the other day and didn't recognize it. 

A pair of black 2.5" Swatt's arrived today.  Maybe I got the last set?!?  Shame they went under, cuz I need another pair and now what to buy...

Oh well.

.....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...
I have a pair of 2.5" Swatt risers in a box on a shelf that I was intending to keep for no good reason.  Except that I love to hoard stuff  8).  But I hate to think that you're stuck with an unrectifiable mismatch.... sooooo if you think you could use em, they're yours  [beer].

I just recieved my 2.5" risers from Swatt this morning.  I will admit communication was a little lacking but they came through.  Also, you may want to check your "junk" folder for a response since both emails I received from them ended up there.  Good luck.

Oh, man...  Good for you.  No, there's nothing in the junk folder.  They probably were willing to fill orders, but not willing to do freebie replacements.

Ungeheuer, as one hoarder to another, I appreciate the generosity and sacrifice of your offer.  But I really like the riding position with the 3.5s so unless some of those come around, I'll suck it up and use these.  Hell, I rode with a bent right bar for 2 years, it's not like I'm not used to it!

Looks like I'll be sticking with my bars then.  No point in making the monster into a SBK ergonomic wise for me.  Thats what the new bike will be for ;)

Why do I have a feeling it's not the last time you'll be rubbing that fact in? [bang]

Swatt is done - that explains things.  They didn't return two of my messages, either.

PJFA - are you mounting those below the triple, or above?
