I went from the stock tall risers, and stock drag bars, to some wider bars with less pullback. I made some custom risers from some aluminum bar (using the old-style clamps). I was able to get away with 40mm risers, that left about 5mm clearance between the control boxes and the tank. I had to get some longer bolts and grind the hex-heads on the bolts to fit into the stock clamps.
The effect on the ride was I felt more in control for slow cornering. Also the 'work' moved from my shoulders to my upper back (elbows out), which suited me because of a dodgy right shoulder.
In this image, the lower bars are the stock drag bars, and the upper bars are the ones I swapped for. They were marketed locally as 31" HD Drag Bars.
