On the R65, bar risers may possibly require longer cables... so I have heard, read, been told.  [smiley=2cents.gif]

Most people put on the taller 'US' handlebars - assuming you have not already got them.

I was looking at a set of risers for my special - but only 5mm or so, so I can raise my fork stantions through the yoke a little more than I can currently - my it looks like I will have to make them.  

I am also amazed at how much a set of handlebar clamps are second hand.  I was thinking of using a set of R80/100 handlebar spacers/clamps on top of the current set-up.  I will be bashing some Ally plate soon enough...

Good luck.
