I think you need to take one for the team and get out there right now and change those bars, we're all counting on you!!!!!!
I did try to switch bars before the Dragon, but I would have had to replace the cables. Not ready to spend for that yet. Check with a custom shop and get their opinion. There are a ton of bars out there, find someone knowledgable about the width, rise, pullback, etc that you want. Sit on the bike and show them where you want your hands to be, and let them obtain the measurements. Unfortunately, you may need to re-cable to avoid too much stress on the throttle cable.
Also, try looking into riser extensions. You may find something available that would give you an extra couple of inches to rotate the bars back without hitting the tank.
Edit: just noticed your location. If you need someone good, come up here to Melbourne and hook up with Butch at FunKing Cycles. He knows his stuff and will treat you right. He's the one that originally helped with my bars.
