Default Best place to buy 4" risers?

I ordered 4" risers and new mirrors from www.debrix.com and I'm done with them. It took 20 days to get my order and guess what? The risers weren't in the box!!!

I need a GOOD place to buy risers from. Someone with some decent customer service and decent prices. I don't want to spend a ton of money on risers. The ones I ordered were around $60.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Another question. And before anyone asks - I have my service manual on order!!!! Does the 08 XL883 use 1/2" - 20 riser bolts? I found a set of risers I like, but want to make sure they'll fit.

i think the factory uses 1/2 - 13, that's what was on my bike. you can always get bolts to match the riser.
i made risers, and i'm using 1/2-20.
