Was thinking the same myself. They say a 25mm rise, but i think the reservoirs must foul on the fairing.....
Ive got cyclecat bars on my 999. Not available now. They came with round reservior conversion which wouldnt be hard to copy using s/h parts. They make a big difference but I have to ride in town with my hands outboard of the grips or my gloves catch the fairing on full lock. Took me 1 ride to suss it out and never caused a problem.
I've just adjusted my Giilies rear sets to furthest back and lowest setting, made a huge difference, so will go with this just now and see if there is a need to buy the risers.
There was a mod where the standard bars are swapped over to give better riding position. A lot of 916 and 999 owners were doing it a few years ago. Never tried it, not sure how it works.
I have been offered some Gilles clip ons with adjustable angle, which i think will help. Then i agree with the rearsets mod, think thats the next thing to do......
I was thinking about risers today as I was heading back from Carcassonne. On the last leg today in France from Beaune my wrists have took a pounding over the last 7 days more so in the mountains and by the fact I don't go on the motorways if at all possible. When I get back I'll try swapping them around
Thanks for the link, wonder what the quality would be like as they are Chinese manufactured, although they do look the biz!

Levers would be ok, but i couldnt trust my life to £26 aluminium alloy bars.... Having worked in aluminium industry they are prob using a softer alloy, like 6063, rather than alloys which gilles et al use..... Just my thoughts, but could be wrong....
My Chinese levers are great. Not all Chinese stuff is tat. Main problem is not knowing how much rise they give and whether any mods to reservoirs are necessary
They look a touch higher than my cyclecat so could need dropping down fork legs a bit. To convert to round reservoirs you need 2 push in plastic elbows, some hose + 2 bleed nipples. My reserviors bolt to thread in handlebar end.
