I did FJ1200 bars on my SK1S, having given up on finding Hawk GT bars. Slight mods required to FJ bars to fit, but nothing rocket science. They're steel so easily welded etc. Painted silver they look like alloy. My FJ bars cost £17 posted on fleabay. Just need slightly longer brake hose, all else fits.
Result - much nicer riding position IMO, feels like much more control especially at low speeds and in town. Riding position much more like VFR or similar. Just more pleasant all round.
I never had a problem with wrists etc, simply too much weight on hands to have delicate control.
