SW motech up and back risers work well for me, depends what height/reach you have, I'm 6'1", think the risers are about 1" up and back.

I had the 20mm up Motech ones on my 2013, made quite a difference
Looks like they have changed the design, mine had a rounded base
These look good on the bike

On my 2020 XT have got these so you can choose what height you have

As you would expect they don't look quite so good as the Motechs as they are cheaper, but still good
I have managed to get them up to 25mm by cutting all cable ties and rerouting cables slightly, then tied up again once sorted
To avoid misaligning each part I taped them with masking tape with the bolts in before fitting, then removed the tape once fitted
If you would like any more info or photos please let me know
Voigt also do some risers and from the photos they look good

Yeah, have to watch out for putting strain on cables/pipes etc; have a bit search on the forum and you'll see there's a lot of discussion eg

I have some solid aluminium billet risers that I used on my last Vstrom 650. These were not your cheap chinese ones. The rise is approx 34mm. These are for normal 22mm standard handlebars.
I did not have to change any brake lines or cables with these fitted but they raised my bars really nice.
15 quid posted if any one is interested.
