Maybe a 1 inch to 1 1/8 conversion kit will do the trick but no idea whats cheaper, a new fork or a conversion kit.

Thats a picture of the extension im talking about.




For the record never understood why people needs to ride with the handlebar so high, since in that position back pain is the 1st symptom, but well is not my back neither my bike

Good luck
When I first started riding frequently and for significant distance I had back pain from low bars. As I have been riding heavily and doing core exercises in the gym I can ride with the bars several inches lower than 3 years ago.
