Ricardo Kuhn has adpated ProTaper bars to the R1150R, and the results 
can be seen on his website

Several hundred GS riders have found that upgrading to ProTaper bars 
with risers produced by Mr. Kuhn provided relief from back pain and 
made their bikes much easier to ride and handle. Ricardo is an expert 
in ergonomics and all of his products are designed with the goal of 
improving rider fitment and comfort.
