They are the spitting image of the Gen MArR risers I purchased and installed 2 years ago! I can't guarantee it though! Memory isn't what it used to be ...

Yep, they look like GenMar risers.
They look a lot like the Doug Hines risers he produced in 2006, and subsequently recalled. I still have my set, as well as the letter I received from his attorney stating that I was using them at my own risk.
He then got out of the riser business.
I had a set on my 06, and under stress they would move. It was a very interesting feeling to say the least.
The design essentially "presses" flat powdercoated surfaces together - and the levered stress (hand grip to connection) results in eventual slide. The powdercoat will abrade off due to the movement, resulting in increased clearances and loose fittings.
Es no bueno.
What I don't see in the fleabay post is the other side of the riser block - are there holes for the location pins to fit into? You'd want that, at the very least.

I'd had the Doug Hine risers too. No longer though.
Those aren't the Hines risers - they appear to just lift the bars.

If they were Larry's his name would be on them. While the designs were often
Yep.
There might be pin holes - but the hardware is blocking the view. Can the seller get you a pic of the blocks without the bolts in them?

I don't know if these are the same as what I bought off of Ebay, but mine have pins on the underside and holes for the bars on the top side, Mine work good and I have never had them come loose. I think they are risers only.
I don't know which kind they are for sure either but I bought a pair about 2 months ago and they brought the bars back nicely and up enough to really improve the comfort of the bike for 49 bucks I feel like I got a good deal.

I think they are knock offs of GenMar.
Purchased and installed a set of these on the Helibar clamp of a gen 2 bike.
Work just fine.
