If you go with the Rizoma conical handle bar and 42mm risers you will be fine.
That set-up is only slightly lower than stock.

thanks,
i think this setup is about 1 inch lower than the original,
how about the 30mm risers, will they be ok too?
do i need to change my cables too?

I don't know of anyone who has the 30mm risers so I can't help you with that one.
You don't need to change the cables with the combo I listed above.

Since they are shorter risers I doubt there will be an issue with the cables...

The 30mm will only mount if the riser holes on the 2nd gen are 10mm.. If they are I think they'll mount up with no problem.

I have a question. How does handle bar risers help. what spec should i be looking at if i want to buy one.

The Riser doesn't "help", but they are part of the equation to change the height of the bars - you can lower your stock bars simply by going to a lower rider that fits the 22mm bars..

The Rizoma Risers are for 29mm Bars, which many riders prefer for looks, and were designed to help quell vibration. So if you want to go to tapered bars, you have to change risers to do it.
