Hi, I recently tried the below, they fitted easily on my 2001 fzs600 but I don't think the cables would allow any higher ones as it was a tight fit, i have to say they didn't make much difference and I have now taken them off,I think for a bad back it would be probably better to have some up and back risers which are more expensive and may need some altering of cables?

Or a set of higher Renthal bars maybe?? 755 Road medium are quite a bit higher, seen these fitted before.

Got a set of multi height ones (different sized plates that you can add or remove) from m&p for £15.95 delivered
They were advertised in MCN a few weeks ago, I couldn't find them on the website,  had to type in the product code.
They're still not on the website and I no longer know what the code is, so this post is of little use to you!

Problem with FZS 600 risers is that they are angled back to avoid the fairing, whereas most other bikes have vertical risers & the fairing further forward.  Extenders such as those pointed out by JonestheSteam above are one option (and the cheapest), higher Renthal bars the other.
Vertical risers such as those from a FZS1000 would probably lead to the bars fouling the fairing on full lock.   

You could move the fairing forward an inch by fabricating metal plates like i did with my TRX850 & that would allow higher, vertical bar risers or more handlebar choice, but bear in mind it's a bit of grief. Sadly I don't have any decent pics of the Fazer's fairing moved forward, just the TRX.

I had a similar problem with my back, so I adjusted the position of the handlebars toward me by a bit. Basicaly, I sat on the bike with the bars loose and rolled them toward me until it felt like a natural position. I have done many miles since, some long days too, and the bad back is gone. Only issue is the turning circle is slightly larger than before. Also, its free  ;)
