I am a bit slow in replying but for what it's worth I used a set of Renthal Enduro High bars and 1 inch risers without any problem. I chose these bars for both height and width, at 830mm you won't find much wider and it certainly helps with control. The throttle cables can be re-routed from carb to the left side of the frame over to the right but I found it wasn't necessary ??? All the switch cables were fine on my 400S
