I'm 6-3 as well and installed the Rox risers last season. While I enjoyed a more comfortable fit I discovered that the correct 'attack' stance was more difficult for me to achieve. This was more noticeable when climbing steep hills where I'd sometimes struggle to keep my weight forward (long arms allowing weight to shift rearward). Your experience may be different.
That being said I have a pair of Rox risers that I'll let go at a discount (perfect condition). These adapt to fit a fat bar and will adjust fore and aft as described above. I matched these with a Renthal evo bar with a Windham bend (available for purchase too).
You will need the KLX300 clutch cable for this setup. Stock throttle cables will work except you'll have to re-route them behind the fork tube.

Taco,
What year is your bike? My observation is the KLX300 clutch cable is longer for the 09+ bikes, but shorter for the 06/07.
I picked up a stainless steel braided front brake line 2 or 3 inches longer than stock from Bill Blue.

For what it is worth, there are listings on ebay for braided brake lines at a very reasonable price. I bought several of them from Rennsport in Scarsborough Canada. Good deal for sure. You figure out the fitting angles and length, then have them make the line. You can buy a front and a rear for under $50.

Ill keep that in mind but by looking at how kawasaki routed the brake line im kinda thinking bout re routing the brake line from the front to the back like honda as theirs just to see how it fits.

I have 2" Rox pivoting risers and plan on trying a 1" block under them as well.
I use a KLR650 clutch cable from the late model (+08) bikes. It is about 4" longer. I ordered 4 longer throttle cables from Motion Pro. I have just received a 4" longer brake line from BB.
I did have the brake line routed lightly differently, I turned the top guide loop over so it is insie the fork leg instead of outside. this made a little difference as well. It was mainly so the line stopped rubbing on my handguards.
