A couple of handlebar risers I machined up. I did look around for some commercially available ones, but as usual couldn't find any I like, so, made my own.
These were made on the lathe as I didn't have a mill at the time. Made from a slab of 25mm aluminium, mounted in the four jaw, turned to shape, drillwed and tapped the bottom, then the two holes for each cap. When done the two caps up top were cut off with a .08 slit saw. Also had to turn up four 3mm thick flat washers to fit over top and bottom of the grommets.
