Doesn’t anyone else having a problem with a too forward position on RS?
I had a "problem", yes.
I installed these:

and now it is sooo much better.

Thomas Looks nice, did the cables need to be lengthened?

No, the cables were ok, went ok, no problem. I have the RS Modell. If the cables on the EX would be the same length as on the RS, the combined with the risers the EX would have cable length problems.
The risers from Voigt, Germany, are super nice quality and the parts are legally tested and approved, which is of quite some relevance for me.

Handlebars with more pullback to the same.
I assume that is the reason for most who do that modification, yes.
With the risers the modification could be re-done in a couple of minutes.
The risers are cheaper.
Also, the risers are available in different varieties:
with offset, or without.
as far as Im concerned I wanted that easy re-built option and I wanted to see which riser would do best for me. So, I found out that rise up and offest back is perfect - perfect for me.
And, last but not least, I have a grip heating system, that is built-in my handlebars: https://www.coolride.de/
All in all, switching for another handlebar was not an option for me.
