I traded the stock bars for higher ones because my old hands and wrists did not agree with the clip-ons and I don't intend to use the bike at the track.
I simply bought the Duke upper triple clamp and bar mounts and swapped them onto the RC. The bars themselves are used BMW K75S bars.
The KTM clip-ons measured 22mm, so I stayed with the BMW bars to mate with he switches and controls. The only cheating necessary was a short
brake line extension from Speigler. I painted the Duke parts with John Deere "Blitz Black" rattle can which is near perfect satin black match for other black on the bike.
Additionally, I removed the lower fairing and added the Powersports comfort seat. The bar end mirrors are bicycle items for $ 15 each - work just fine.
The little bar on the rear bolts of the bar clamps is for my GPS mount.
If the clip-on bars are too low for you, I can highly recommend this swap for comfort.
