Looking for Matte Silver Riser Bar?
 
Hello. I've been searching google for days for a good aluminum riser bar that has a more matte-like silver finish. It seems like every bar I've found has a shiny chrome finish. I know that they exist because I currently have a noname set on my bike, but they were hacked down from the previous owner to a really narrow width. I'll be hacking mine down but more to around shoulder width. If anyone knows of a set I should check out I'll appreciate your help.

Just scruff it down with fine steel wool

Nitto risers aren't high-polish but they're not exactly matte either:

A half hour in a vibratory case cleaner with walnut shell media should give a nice finish. Of course, any painted logos will be gone. Alternately, find someone with a small sand blast setup and ask them to lightly dust the surface.

Thanks for the replies! Those Nukeproof bars are the exact finish I'm looking for. They don't have dealers in the U.S. But I found a site that offers to ship them. They're higher than I want to spend at $60 so I'm not sure.
