It's been done, a guy I used to work with did it. He had to get a new seat, his stock seat was too big to fit with the bigger tank. I remember he said he didn't have any issues with the handlebars hitting the tank, and I think he had stock bars/risers.

Agreed. The 4.5 totally changes the look of the bike. In worse, IMHO.
