Swatt is history

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:

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).
