Rise is the "height" of the bars from center to the grip center, pcx's rise is like 4 inches or so.
replacement bars of a similar size, rise, reach are very hard to find...
If you like the size of the PCX bars, why not just paint them?

Or powder coated?

Stock reach is something around 3.7". Also our bars are short of 27" in width and the bars he's looking at are 28-30".
