I'm in the same boat as you are, you know getting old etc. what I did at first was to buy some bar risers but I wasn't to keen on the look so I then bought a pair of rizoma tapered bars, you have to tease the wiring and reroute the pipes but boy what a difference it makes to the riding position. Since I did my S4Rs I've now done my hypermotard and a few other bikes for my friends who all say that their bikes are alot more comfortable to ride, hope this is of some help.. [moto]

^^ +1  waytogo

Not only ~2 inches up (depending on rotation), but as important... swept back quite a bit, which relaxes your wrist/elbow/shoulder arch.
Minor warning is that a more upright riding position will make an already front-light Monster a little more so.

If you're up at 08 and posting, I'd say you're already in trouble  Grin

After riding a sportbike for a couple hundred miles, the standard Monster feels so good I've never even thought of needing to change it.

Hey...

I was in the same boat, and have the same bike as you.  I have a MV Agusta Brutale bar which is a direct fit for sale.  The bar is both higher and more set-back, and doesn't require any mods in terms of longer cables, etc.  (Barely).   cheeky  It also preserves the look of the bike...still looks sporty, but much more comfy.

If you're interested, drop me a pm.  You can search my older posts and likely find pics.  It was basically installed, ridden, and removed.  New condition. 

Good luck.

Joel
