Anyone used B-Witch Risers?

Looking for some somewhat narrow, 2 inch-ish rise, riser bars. These look like the ticket but difficult to find without high shipping costs to US. Also not sure if 5 degree backsweep is enough but I guess the narrower the bar the less backsweep? Could of course cut any 2 inch risers down but many are too wide before the rise to get them down to about 46cm with room for grips/brake lever.

If anyone has an extra black pair around they want to part with, PM me.

Seems like a lot for risers but with shipping from one of the Japanese sites it's about the same I guess.

I've had those Nitto's in the past but they have 12 degrees of sweep which way too much. Ended up selling.

5-9 degrees is about perfect for risers.

Yeah they seem just right. Will keep trolling Craigslist for a black pair. People seem to like the gold and white or I guess ultimately they don't like them because they end up on Craigslist.
