Indeed I do and it's not the length of the forks that matters (though I'm not sure if they're longer or shorter as I never had the original forks?), rather the fact that the adjusters stick out the top and interfere with the bars.

I fitted 30mm risers and flat bars (higher bars alone don't help as the bend is further out than the fork tops) and the adjuster screws are still very close to the bars though you can (just) still get a screwdriver on to adjust them.

Could fit higher risers but I like the height as it is and it turns out about the same as standard bars/no risers.

Fat bars will be a problem though as the bolt spacing required won't line up with the yoke so would require risers with adapters or engineering.
