your best bet would be to go with a +2 stem but a cheaper option would be bars I would try the trx250r bend they are 160mm high.

Thats what I have on my 400 and I love them. They also are angled up more than the 400 bars. Much better for standing up. Also you can get rid of the bars poking you in the side by rotating them downward. It will make it harder to stand up though.

well I'm 6'0 180lbs and ride a 400ex. The 250R bends were higher than the stock 400ex bends, and fit me perfectly. They are more comfortable standing up with and they dont poke me when I'm making turns sitting down. I have a stock stem by the way.
