Just installed the raisers-took about 10 minutes and having an extra set of hands really helps. The raisers put the bars up and back just a bit but it's a real difference for me. It's the Janks kit from BellaCorse-looks 100% factory. All stock cables work but I did need to re-route the clutch cable-that took 60 seconds! All in all, very pleased. Oh, as a benefit, the stock mirrors are now useable as they are up and out just enough to show something besides my sholders and arms.

Can you say what you found unappealing about the stock seating position?

I had to reach foward just a bit too much. The small amount of rearward pullback lets me sit a bit strighter and is much more comfortable for me.

I agree...same thing and it became alittle worse with the King/Queen seat...all solved by bar risers. I can sit up and use my mid pegs and controls during twistie riding, or slink back and use my billy bar highway pegs without any trouble.
