    Bumping this back up.

    I got the dreaded pain across the base of the neck and shoulders when I took the F6B on her maiden voyage to Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is after installing the Kuryakyn risers. Those risers pull the handlebars in some, and that really doesn't feel right. I'm going to swap the risers to the wrong side and see how much that pushes the handlebars out.

    I have a feeling that it's going to take a lot of experimentation to get the bars in a position that is comfortable for the long haul.

    Thankfully I don't have any negative experiences with the stock handlebar position. For once.

    I am fortunate that the stock bars work fine for me.From all that has been said about them in the most positive way except maybe for cost it sounds like Helibars are the way to fix your problem.
