100GS Bar Risers

Has anyone fitted bar risers to a 100 GS?
I need to move my bars up and back towards me and could do with some advice about the options.

I have Touratech risers on my F650GS and they work fine. They rise the bars about 5 cm (2 inch).
The riding position is better now, specialy when standing on the pegs on a dirtroad. The handlebar was to low to be comfortable while standing on the pegs before I mounted the risers.

Bar risers are available from BMW.

Risers: 31422317542 (you need 2)
Bolts: 07119901035 (M8*55, you need 4)

I think they are somewhere around 15-17 mm. You can add as many as you want but you need longer bolts if you add more then one on each side.
Check that cables are long enough
