I put a set of Harper risers on my wifes' little Breva 750 http://harpermotoguzzi.com/handlebar_risers.htm

Not as easy as I had hoped, but it turned out well. Had to reroute all cables and wires behind headlight bracket and instrument panel. Required a lot of dis-assembly. No binding from lock to lock, does make it a tight fit for her tank bag.
 
Nice work.

Due to frozen shoulders I mounted risers a couple of years ago. My shoulders are fine now, and the risers are gone.
But as I'm a real cheapo in some matters, I followed an advise from Tom Farley, using box spanners as risers. This setup would be about US$ 15 if you go for stainless. OEM bolts are not ;) . Works terrific if you just want to rise the bars - wont be positioned to the rear as much as your Harpers seems to do. Tom also filled the box spanner with spacers to make the whole thing a bit more steady. I didn't feel the need, and I survived 10000 kms before they where dismounted.
This is how I did it:

What's needed are 2x21 mm sockets, two 10 mm bolts - 17 mm head - and two nylocks, 10 mm.
Original bolts are 60 mm long. The sockets I bought are 35 mm. Easy maths then, 60+35=95 mm. That size doesn't exist, mine are 100 mm long. Thats a standard length.

There's a rubber block and a wide cup-spacer underneath. Easiest way is to loosen the original nylocks before you loosen the bar from the original risers.

Mount the extended risers without tightening.

-as you see the 21 mm sockets will just rest on the shoulder of the rubber-blocks

Tighten up the bar., Then the riser-bolt.

-and you've gathered an extra 35 mm height - and a bit far back as well.

Cables are a bit short, so at least the clutch-cable will stay a little bend. But it works allright.
I've tried to stretch as much as I could.
