I think Enduro engineering had some bar risers that go under the bar mounts.
I was on a KX450 before this and it was a fatter bike too, so it took some getting used too. I wear knee braces and they add some thickness so that helps. But I've found myself having to relearn a little. I just keep reminding myself to point my toes into the bike and put my elbows up. This seems to help me force my body into position. Pointing my toes into the bike makes me squeeze with my knees.

How hard is the grip tape on the riding gear?

I tried the skateboard tape thing on my Husky and shredded my riding pants. I wouldn't do that again.

Steg Pegz doesn't list GG as a direct fit but some have said a part # for one of the orange models will work but I have no idea which one.

Door stops mounted on the airbox. $5 worth. They work a treat.
