Many here have used them with great success.

I think Treadmarks was one of the first. PM him for details.

I have them on another bike and they work very well. No loosening or twisting.

Precision Engineering gets my vote! Great products and a Badweb sponsor.

+1 on the PreEng risers-quality stuff, cheap and easy to install, and the 1 inch rise makes all the difference.

I can't speak about the risers from Precision Engineering, as I don't have a set on my XT yet; but I really like the Gen.II shifter and Brake Pedal that I got from them.
Excellent quality and workmanship, and very reasonably priced.

I put the Precision Engineering risers on my Uly. There are two issues that take some work. First is the brake line. You'll need to loosen it and work some slack towards the top where the brake fluid reserve is, otherwise the brake line is too taunt. The second issue revolves around tightening the bracket. Once the handlebar is back in place there is one (I believe it's the front) bolt that takes some real work to get tight because most Allen wrenches are interfered with by the handlebars.

All that said, I'm very happy with the risers because they allowed me to pull the handle bars back just enough to be super comfortable on longer rides.
