Default Lets talk bars

I am in the market for some pullback risers, or more accurately, I want to move the grips on my stock bars 2-3" back. this is for an XLN

The ones on JP Cycles(http://www.jpcycles.com/product/214-...F98512#reviews) in the reviews, guys are complaining about them hitting the tank. I have scoured the Internet but haven't found anything that will work, as I believe they would hit the tank. ie:
Amazon Amazon

Amazon Amazon

I mainly want to get the grips 2"s or so closer to me as I ride, and am not too concerned with the height of the bars but don't want them up too high like Apes. I'd leave the stock bars if I could find a simple riser set to accomplish this, or I could get some combination of bars and risers. Or maybe even a 6" flat Z bar angled back towards me?

Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
