Within this forum area is also a sticky post that provides the ground rules for participating in the Election forum area. Also, the candidates statements are provided. Please read before joining the conversation, because the rules are very specific to maintain civility.
Here's a snap of the bar backs I have on my 1994 R100RT. Up 1" back 3/4". Came from one of the "usual suspect" vendors, but do not recall which one. I do recall that they were not marketed for the airhead RT (you can see that they are not particularly pretty - but there again they are cloaked by the headstock switch panel) - R100GS I think - and they they came in a very nice silver finish that, as you can also see, I re-painted black. The stock electrical and bowden control cables work OK with this set up. You are seeking to be more "adventurous", so consider that you may need to swap out some cables (the bowden controls cables are more likely to be an issue that the electrical cables). Also check that you will have bar/bar back to gas tank clearance before heading out into the wild blue yonder to avoid denting the tank.
