pro tapers as well and i think i might make up a spacer as well as i often feel hunched over when standing and therefore don't stand up enough

I was real lazy in making this spacer. I stacked several washers under the stock mount and got a longer grade 8 bolt. I left the rubber in the stock triple clamp also. I did this as a temporary thing, but you know how that goes, it's still in place. I am looking at machining a peice to raise the bars even higher but I've not settled on a method or material.

Since so many of you have raised the handle bars , have any of you tried the optional "high" seat from Kawasaki?  I have seen the low, stock and high seats listed on the parts list and it is mentioned in the owners manual.  Just wondering if it helps.
