brake lever options for risers?

The last thing I need for my 3rd project is a front brake lever, which will mount on the left.
I've got these risers on order: http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?c...B%20Handlebars
Anyone know the bar diameter, in the brake area, of a riser?

And I've considered Dia Tech Goldfinger: http://www.vitalbmx.com/product/guid...-Tech99-DS,521
I like this approach best, but am unsure of the Nashbar bar diameter. The lever is designed for a BMX 22.2mm bar. Also, I only seem to be able to find a right-side mounted version online. ~$16 each.

or Cane Creek CrossTop: http://www.vitalbmx.com/product/guid...-Tech99-DS,521
Do these work stand-alone, or only inline with other levers? These work with a 24mm clamp, which I assume is the road bike bar diameter. $23/pair

or a mt. bike lever: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...slisearch=true I've got a set of these - they work well. I've got them on a 3-speed style upright bar. On sale $12/pair.
