Found these on ebay. The finish doesn’t match but it does feel more comfortable. Once the windshield is back on it should hide them for the most part. Haven’t had a chance to ride with them yet. Really s**tty here in the Burg lately.

Interested in knowing how they work out for you.
Been thinking of doing the same myself.
Was wondering how high I could go with stock lines and cables.
G'Luck.

Went around the block last night and they feel good. It’s going to hit 60 here today so ill get a longer putt in after work and im sure they will be better on the back as I am sitting upright and not leaning into the bars. And for like $25.00 delivered it was a cheep mod.
BTW they are 2” and from what I have searched you cant go too much higher than that without extending the cables.

One of the best things I did to the LC was put aftermarket risers on it. I'm considering the same with the C50 trike. I had an issue with tennis elbow and riding the LC without the risers caused me a great deal of pain in a very short time.
After the risers where put on I can ride now for hours without any sign of that same pain. I'm no longer reaching 'down' for the bars.....they feel like they are in the perfect spot with the risers.
I think your going to be very happy with your new risers Nick

You will definitely love the change with them but you will definitely love the 4" ones I have for sale. I am going to go with some 6" ones with 2.5" of pullback... going to be really nice. I can'tr wait to get on and my new PC3 cause 'm going naked jugs this weekend...  
Thanks for any help...

So risers are NOT handlebars, right?
I have managed to get myself into all sorts of confused situations when talking about aftermarket gear, and risers often come up as a different topic altogether than handlebars.
Just when I think I'm getting my head around something, they go and increase the size of that 'thing'!

Nick C2:
Those spacers might match better if you rub them with some scotch brite for a more "brushed" look.
I know...old thread,

Got a set of 2" risers off ebay too. The picture you posted is blocked here at work, but my finish was kinda different. Would have preferred chrome, but they were aluminum. Aside from that, I was happy with the quality and the price.
First bike I've ever done this too. Doesn't sound like much, but it makes a huge difference.
On the C90, 2-4" is as far as you can go with the stock cables from what I've read. Mine are fine.
edited because I have spell check, not proof read check

Night and Day difference isn't it?  I only wish I would have done it to the LC MUCH earlier. I wouldn't have had to deal with the tennis elbow. Once I put the risers on I have not had a problem with my elbow since.

Yeah I used 4" with what was suppose to be 1.5" of pull-back. Problem was that was too much pull-back for me leaving me feeling like the bars where nearly in my chest....I turned them around so that they where pushed forward and that made them perfect for me.
4" for the stock cables on the LC is about right.....I don't think I could have put on a taller set without altering the wires/hoses
