If it's a '04, it already has 10mm spacers under the handlebars from the factory.
After a few years on a Monster, I switched to a '99 900ss and a '02 750ss.
I can tell you for certain that comfort is not an issue on them when doing a track day, but as soon as the riding slows down, their ergonomics get nasty.
I've gotten into the habit of clamping the bike firmly with my legs whenever possible to take weight off of my wrists. I've noticed that at the ragged edge the bike is much more serene if I keep my arms soft anyway.
