I've got 30mm risers on top of the original Monster riser/bracket and that sits the centre of the riser bracket/bar around 75mm from the yoke which is about as close as you can go if you still want to adjust the forks (I've got around 8mm gap between bar and screw top).

As fat bars are a little thicker I'd say bracket +40mm sounds about right to me.
Yes I've got early 916 fork legs for this bike coupled with Renthal Street-Low fat bars. If they are too low I'll get some spacers made that are the same dimensions as the new risers to be able to fine tune things - we shall see....
