So, how do I know if I need handle-bar raisers? Or, what do I evaluate to determine if I need raisers or not?

Obviously it has to do with my stance once standing on the pegs, but I have not yet figured out what I should be looking for/at once I'm up and riding. Suggestions and pointers welcome.

I've not had a problem with the standard handlebars on the 1150GSA, but then again don't know if I'm perhaps just coping with something that could be improved. I'm not a hardcore enduro-type rider, but am looking at ways to make life a little easier for those long days on Karoo back-roads.
