I've had problems finding high reise bars, so until I can lower the pegs, I have installed a set of risers that move bars up maybe 1.5 inches, and forward an inch. Then I use normal modern bars.

www.barrisersonline.com I think I got the address from someone on this site. Cost about $USD90 from a supplier in Canada.

I have only ridden around teh yard. Feels awfully tall, (TY starts pretty tall anyway) but better posture. (I am 6ft0 in tall) Moving ahead has helped the 'tiller feel' of the old TY. Bars were behind the centerline of fork head.
