Default Tall Risers and Moto Type Bars on a Slim

I have a 2018 Slim that I purchased used a while back with the Beach bars and previously installed extended risers. Although the extended risers help, I would like to find some sort of Bar combo that would raise them up ideally about 3-4 more inches. I have only seen Slims with all kinds of Mini Ape Bar combos. I kind of like the look and style of longer extended pullback risers and Moto-type or mid-bend bars (last pic) . Does anyone have anything like that installed on a Slim? What do you guys think?

That pic is my bike and thats a real simple setup that would work just fine on yours, you'd need more cable and wiring though. That setup there is 11" Bung King risers with 2" pullback and Thrashin High Bend bars that are 5" tall. For your bike, since it has more rake I'd probably only go 7-8" tall risers
