Roughed out with the angle grinder, then finished with hand files.
Flanders risers, very difficult to describe but simple and very old school and look good on girders and springers.

 Wink  Thanks guys.
Bolt on Flanders style risers.
On mine I don't want the bulky clamps, so these will be replaced with lugs on the handlebars.

My workmate's been off sick for 2 days. He's scruffy & covered in paint too.
Detailing makes all the difference Dave. Looking rather splendid.

At last I've got the shocks. Nearly new for £19 the pair Smiley
Have it on good authority that I will only need one, but if not there is room for both.
