I have be searching the internet for risers for the C5 with no luck. There has to be a set available somewhere.

Bmadd34 -- I doubt such things exist.  Contact Tim (Parts Man) at CMW or visit BikeMaster for handlebar replacements.  Depending on height, a new brake hose may be needed.  Everything else seems to have enough excess length.

Hmmm -- lower seat and higher bar -- what is the look you are going for? :)

Not really so much looks as it is comfort. One would think simple bolt on riser would suffice, such as these http://www.upisgarage.fi/shop/tuote/1-14-rise-domed-risers/?v=f0aa03aaca95.

Once you reflect on qhow Enfield handlebars are attached, you'll see why risers won't work.

It isn't just the control cables and brake hose, you need to think about the switchgear wiring too.

  I suppose if the two clamp bolts were to be removed ... on either side of the stem nut.  And find a set of risers , where the mounting bolt goes through the inside of the new riser and threaded into the existing holes ?  Rubber isolated ones maybe even better ?  It might work  ?    You'd probably block the ignition switch and key though, with the new bar location. And the area where the original bar was clamped in, may look unfinished ?

Hitchcocks do a set of 'riser' bars, as fitted as standard to the Indian market Thunderbird model:

PART No. 93050
HANDLEBARS, HIGHRISE **needs longer b/cable**, 800mm Long 170mm rise

http://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/handlebars/11774

These may offer sufficient rise without the need to re-work the clamping mechanism.

I use these:

No modification needed, and easy to adjust position.

Mikko H -- why is your speedometer raised?

Because I replaced the original with a digital one, of course it didn't quite fit the hole so I had to improvise...

Very nice. I will probably go that route, thanks for the input Mikko H.
