Seriously though, those risers are a bit much. I like the idea of being able to adjust the handlebars up and down, but the Concours is a sport touring bike. It's not designed to ride like a cruiser.
And just because it might have handlebars where people with short arms can reach them well, or other people don't have to lean over, doesn't make it a "cruiser". It still has power like a sports bike, leg positioning like a sports bike, looks/design like a sports bike, and handling like a sports bike.
I don't see anything wrong or crazy or violating the so-called principles of "sport touring" by making modifications that some people need to avoid discomfort, inconvenience, or pain. Just saying...
