F800GS bar risers

I'm looking to buy handle bar risers for my F800GS, and wondered if anyone has some suggestions? I've seen some 20mm ones at Nippy Normans, but don't know if there are any better options? I'm also unsure as to whether I'll need longer cables or not.

I want to have the bars slightly nearer to me when riding, and I think they would also be useful when riding off road, which I'm hoping to get into in the future.

Get the Low Pro Rox Risers! They raise by 1 3/4" and are adjustable: they pivot or rotate and can be used with the stock cables. Adventure Designs and Off Road Idaho sell them over at Ebay for $100-110 including postage from US to the UK. If you ask they'll reduce postal value so you don't get raped on UK Customs etc...

Off Road Idaho looks like the place - thanks for that. One other question that's just occurred, though - I currently have my Zumo 550 bracketed to the top of the OE bar clamp, and I was wondering whether it would fit on top of the Rox riser too? The pictures of the Rox don't really show the top, and it's difficult to see whether it might accommodate the bracket.
