Tag or Driven brand risers are a good place to start, bars are pretty universal, as long as the riser and bar sizes match. 7/8" vs 1 1/8"
If you want to go middle-of-the-road on price, buy the Spiegler bar and extended line kit as spec'd in their kit. Then adapt to your triple clamp using your own aftermarket risers.

Thanks Seb!
Looking on ebay Tag didn't really show up, I'll try the other.
I bought a set of these, they are 22mm rise so i'm not sure of what bend of bars I would want or need yet.
http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1497.l2649
I was thinking of wider flatter bars to get more leverage on the bars (less effort) and even more upright than my Heli's.
Guess I need a Wing!

Those look just like my Driven brand risers, minus the logo.
You'll need a new pair of mounting bolts, those are too long. No big deal, you just go to the hardware store for the bolts, then load them in your poor man's lathe.
The riser bolts have a "D" shape so you need to turn down the hex head and then grind a flat on it. Just use the old ones as a guide like I did here:

ST1100 throttle cables work ...i have them...routing them is a trick as they hit the dash on the top...so have to route them between the fork tube and the steering T instead
Choke cable is an issues so still hunting for the long ones.

Cheers Lee, I have a real lathe now but the press worked the few times I really needed it! I also used it to kill a couple things, but that got kind of hairy at times.

With the ST1100 cables I am stuck because the bracket that holds the threaded ends in place is too far. I took it to my fathers machine shop and brought it forward about an inch, but I haven't had a chance to install yet because of work. For the choke you can try removing the airbox and rerouting the cable directly to the left handle bar on top of where the throttle cables run through to goto the right hand side. I tested this from lock to lock with my spiegler kit and it does not bind.

That's because the carb bike cables have more free length in the cable. (ST11 was FI, right?)
Check to make sure you get 100% throttle use with that cable.
