ecc1124,
Just for clarity, I think that the best remedy for wrist pain will be a comfortable set of conventional 7/8" (22mm) handlebars.
The handlebar aftermarket provides for a wide range of sweep, height, angles, wingspan, pullback, et c. For the Gen2, all FJR handlebar switches and controls will fit on a regular 7/8" (22mm) handlebar.
If the Gen3 has the same size handlebar diameter as the Gen2, then the same will apply to your bike.
New handlebars and the adapters (steel standoffs) on the stock top fork clamp can be had in the range of US$ 100.00 (plus labor) although you can spend far more. You may need to unclip and re-route some lines and cables to the new handlebars. If you go beyond these limits, you may need extensions for those lines.
IMHO, the angle plates and riser blocks for the FJR handlebars are far too limited in the results possible, and their prices can be insane. Bad guesses can get expensive fast, if these plates and blocks do not work out right for you.
Most motorcycle shops will let you "test fit" new handlebars outside on your bike (no tools allowed), one handlebar at a time.
Conventional handlebars will also reduce engine vibrations at the hands and arms.
