I didn't know whether to put this here or in the general subforum. Mods, feel free to move if desired.
I need either 3" risers or taller bars on my 09 Vulcan 900. Looking over risers out there the majority apear to be aluminum, usually billet 6061-T6 and some from 7075. When risers act only as spacers I guess they don't need the strength of steel, but what about internally threaded risers? Why aren't they made from steel, such as 4140 or 1085 whose yield strength is much greater than 6061 or about even with 7075?
