Ordered risers from twistedthrottle.com before I picked up my 'new' 01. Installed the night I brought it home. Had to take a little time and care not to scratch stuff. Was a little worried that the factory windshield wouldn't fit up but it did. For me the difference in reach made the riding position much more comfortable.

Depends what you're looking for ... I replaced the oem stuff with a new handlebar from LSL and a supplementary fork bridge from ABM. Same gives me a little more "leaning forward" sportive position and I like it.
Did you have to get new brake-lines? Extend the heated grip cables?

The bikes standard riding position would be fine for me but my limbs are probably a little shorter than it was designed for. I find this be to be true of most bikes in their standard configuration. The risers helped. The pullback is not much and all the cables and line reached fine. I did have to snip wire ties to get a little more slack.
I can imagine this bike would be fun to ride in a sportier position but I would not be able to do many miles that way.

I have a pair of handlebar risers which fit my '96 R1100R. They're this type:
