One option that looks nice is to install the R1200R bars.
When we bought our bikes, the shop asked if we wanted R bars installed but we were not interested.
I do remember them mentioning the brake and clutch hoses and other wires were long enough for this swap.
I think Engles said around one hour labor.

I put the Wonderlich risers on about a year ago as they were the first i knew to offer them.
I am well pleased with them. I did wiggle the clutch and brake cables a bit..thru their tie points, but I did not have to lengthen any thing. The fork easily swings lock to lock. The raise the bars about an inch...some of this is a bit back because of the original mounting angle of the triple clamp.
If you go much more than this amount, as offered by other riser companies now, you will likely make a more complex effort to insure you have long enough cables.
I did look at using the R bars, but it MUCH more expensive and the bars are wider too. Some people will want that.
