I know someone has posted this before and i am sorry for posting it again but need some ideas on what those of you did for your homemade risers. I have a welding class and instead of paying the 80 bucks to get them figured I could make them.

You can actually get them for $20 used, but I have seen a lot of people happy with doing home made ones.

I made a 4" Pivot riser out of 3/8" thick steel, 5" long, 2" thick. drilled holes for loss of weight.

Ok, do not make them out of aluminum if you make pivot risers, I just made some in welding and they lasted literately 5 minutes. I made something similiar to the universal powermadd pivot risers.

Perhaps you needed a better design...? If you want to use Aluminum, I would make a dog-bone style riser like Fly manufactures, and simply find a piece of 7/8" tubing for an adapter if you need one. Fly uses 6061-T6 and they hold up quite well. I realize you would not need to utilize any welding to create these, but they work.

It might have been bad tig welds, I didn't do them because I can't weld aluminum worth shit. I made essentially the same things out of solid steel stock, I'll post a picture of those monsters tommorrow
