Weight on the bars isn't unsprung weight, that's your wheels, axles, brakes and lower fork legs.... It still, however, could wreck the handling.
Have you thought about bags on the front / side of the tank? I think Hein-Gericke do a special "Big Traillie" tankbag?
If you want something like the Riky one, maybe you could adapt some crash bars to come around the front of the fairing?
