Where to Find Carbon RISER (3"-5") Handlebars?
The only ones I find are MTB with slight rise. Anybody know if these are even made as my needs and desires seem to always be deviated from the norm...
Thx in advance!

3"-5" rise would be into BMX territory. You need a BMX shop.
Dan's Comp BMX - Race Parts - Carbon Handlebars
most of these are going to be 22.2mm and due to their intended use, probably low weight rated.
Why carbon mid-rise? Aluminum can be pretty light, and (thin-wall) steel bars can be fairly compliant.

Thank you. It was suggested by someone here that I could reduce road vibrations on a particular bike I was using. I have carbon drop bars on my roadies and a carbon flat bar on my utility bike and I do feel a difference.

Thx! I'm an Ergon fan and use their GP3 - GP5 grips on all my flat bars. I think they may have similar shock-absorbing characteristics...

TBH, not a huge fan of the Ergon -style "paddle" grip shape, or a grip that uses big flat "pads" for cushioning
Coming from BMX/MTB, I used old -school gummy "waffle" grips like the classic OURY for years , until I got a set of the PNW Loam grips for a build last year;
They have a really nice shape; especially the thicker XL size, and the ribbed pattern provides a surprising amount of cushion/damping, and still has a good control feel.
(Bonus: that come in about a dozen colors, if that's your thing)

I went to the Ergon "flat" style back in 2016 when I developed hand issues and the GP3-GP5 (with bar ends) gives me the added hand positions.

another grip to consider if you like the PNW Loam and similar - ODI Elite Pro lock-on grip
they have a slightly eccentric / offset shape with raised cushioned surface for your palms and waffle pattern on backside for increased grip

Ergons are the way to go. Those people saying use other grips, don't listen, Ergons are the best for a reason. I would look at a Redshift Shockstop stem or if you want the best performance get a Kinekt Stem which uses springs and while not as good looking works a lot better.
