I've read some threads, and still need a little help here. I have stock bars and risers on my M750, but I'd like to get bars that have maybe 1" more rise (so about 2" over stock) and are back maybe an 1" over what I have now.
Any other ideas as to more comfortable bars for an older guy that wants to cruise more than lay over and blast around would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I think your bike has standard 7/8" bars. I would suggest looking for K&N GP Touring bars (or a replica of the K&N bend; I think EMGO makes a replica). Or, their Daytona Touring bar. Heck; check out the Flanders bars - I've bought them; expensive, made in the U.S.A. (!) and they have every conceivable bend:

I installed replica Norton Commando "western" (the Amewrican model of the Commando Roadster) handlebars on my project nekkid 1000SS roadster conversion project; very comfy, though requiring custom cabling and hoses:
Here's a "rider's eye" view with a mock-up utilizing a Superbike bar:
Here's the Flanders Superbike bend bar by itself:
