Funny, I have 12" motorwitch bars on my RG also. I have tbars/bars and risers on everything else but was trying to avoid relocating the gauges and all that on this new one.
I find myself reaching too much as well. Looks like Im gonna be switching to a pullback riser setup too....lol, shouldve done it in the first place I guess.
MJK is crazy though lol - definitely nice but man they're proud of it - I'll probably run bungking stuff and KNS customs gauge relocation for like $500 total instead. 2K for bars is insane to me.
looks good! I just scored a set of dyna tubes also and will add a 1" extension to my 13" ohlins. hope my short *** can still reach the ground.
I went with looks when I got my Kraus 12" now I realize I should of went with Kraus Kickbacks in 10s. Costly mistake

I'll take a look into the Bungking and KNS setup. Do you have any pictures of it installed on a bike? I agree that 2k for bars is insane. The reason I was looking at going with MJK is he is in the same city as me so I can buy them in Canadian dollars, and I won't have to worry about shipping/import charges having them sent to Canada. It's actually cheaper for me than the Kraus and BBP stuff when that's taken into account.

Oh ok that makes sense. Dont get me wrong, your bike not mine, I just cant pay that much for bars lol.
I dont have any pics but Gartec who started this thread has the KNS gauge bucket. Its like $250 opposed to MJK and Kraus $600++
The risers are just standard looking round risers. I had them on my 08 with zero issues or complaints.
Another good option for you would be Original Garage Moto - check out their site, they have some nice risers and a gauge relocation for a reasonable price and they're in Canada also.

Thanks for the recommendation on Garage Moto. I have never heard of them before but their stuff looks good at reasonable prices. Cheers!
Only thing better than getting parts in the mail is getting them a day early...lol. Shocks came today - very please with the RWD's so far, seem to be well-manufactured, almost a shame to hide them behind the bags...lol. With the 2 over tubes I swapped to last night, the lean angle is insane...just the way I like it! Definitely going to need to sort out the kickstand lean situation though it's just a tad sketchy...
Here's a Bung King/Big Al's bar setup. Not sure what brand you are talking about, but I priced our Kraus, realized I'd lose my ignition lock, and the view of my gauges and decided to go Bung King. These are 14" risers with 2.5" rise bars.

@DynaKid94 I think you're going to be extremely happy with the RWD once you get them dialed in. It doesn't take long, it was a few rides for me. That's what I'm running and I love them. I totally agree with you about hiding them. They're a good looking shock to be hidden. Since I'm going with gold accents I added gold washers from IMZZ and black ARP bolts. It really cleans it up. Even though they're hidden it still looks good when the bags are off.

That king is lookin rad! You were able to run 14" shocks with that full-length Thunderheader? You aren't getting any contact at the rear axle nut?
You can just grab a kickstand block to stand your bike up straighter.
