I need taller bars.

I need taller bars.
Took my '09 out for the first real test this weekend and and found that the ProTaper CR Hi bends are good enough sitting, but I need another inch or so standing. The brake line, clutch cables, and throttles are all pretty much out of room. Is there a replacement clutch and throttle (maybe from a KLX300) that will give me the extra length I need to put some risers under these bars?
I looked closely at the routing, and don't thnk I can "fudge" enough to make the stock parts work. I can always have a longer brakeline made up if I can solve the other two

I woulda been OK too had I not ridden a KLX300 (plated too BTW) that had the same bend and 50mm risers back to back.... Gotta be something short of custom cables that'll gimme something apehanger-ish. I need about 25-35mm more height to be comfortable standing.
I'll go the one off cable/brakeline route if I have too, but if I can find something off the shelf

On my bike the wiring now has zero slack at full lock turns with the Renthals I managed to fit on. They have s-l-i-g-h-t-l-y more rise than stock and less sweep back. The ONLY other way I see is higher bar + less sweep back + cut bars substantially narrower ... then I would have great standing position but bars like 24" wide ... NOT

I really don't have an issue with doing away with most of the switchgear. I can get down to not much more than a starter button and a kill switch pretty easily. A horn, and hi/lo switch are all that's required in Florida really.... I'm coming off of a plated 200EXC, so even the started button is a bonus
