Know it's not your bike but here's some on a 748 (please excuse if nothing here - first time I've tried to upload a pic apart from my avatar - and even then Frank had to fiddle at his end. The pic came from this link:

i got a set of cyclecats from a group buy on this site and think they're great although i did chop them down to the same width as standard, they are a bit wider which makes it easier to turn but not a lot of help for comfort.

in the pic (left grip not on yet) they are as high as you can go and still get a full lock and i think the 05 type fairing is slighty taller so they could go a little more (mines older type fairing).

went touring and was riding pretty much every day for a minimum of 5 hrs and on the last day a 16 hour stint home. i don't remember having sore wrists after that but i do remember having a sore a**e.

Like Duck I have the Cycle Cat risers, the quality is very good but they were a bit of a pig to fit and get positioned correctly.
In my opinion they are much more comfortable but at the length supplied they made the bike feel really unstable so I too cut them down to the standard length which makes them much better and my wrists do not ache as much now.
When on their highest setting the only problem is that there is not much room for a gloved hand between the underside of the fairing but this is only really a disadvantage when moving the bike around as when you are riding you do not use full lock.

If I pull my bike to pieces mine will be up for sale soon !
