#92559 chadparker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 Shoulder pain...handle bars. 4 Years, 11 Months ago   I've seen where Baron handle bars were recommended if you had shoulder pain, but I was wondering if you could roll the stock handle bars back towards you just a tad? Anyone tried that? -Chad   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #92563 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Shoulder pain...handle bars. 4 Years, 11 Months ago   You can get risers that move the bars back. Just figure out where you would want the bars to be and then get risers that put them there. Easiest way is to get a helper with a tape measure. Put your hands where they feel comfortable and measure the difference between where the bars are and where you want them to be.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #92574 chadparker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 Re:Shoulder pain...handle bars. 4 Years, 11 Months ago   I believe it's a height and forward issue. Maybe I need them back and down? The word "risers" gives me an image of Ape hangers. not really, but you knwo what I mean. No offense to the apes and all. I had a Suzuki Volusia before the Roadstar and no issues. The bars were definately longer and lower. If I could get something without replacing the bars then that would be great.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #92575 dearman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 275 Re:Shoulder pain...handle bars. 4 Years, 11 Months ago   To some degree you can roll the bars. Just check that you do not create a bind in the cables and that they still turn stop to stop. I rolled mine back to try before I got the risers.

This is my only complaint (besides mpg's) with my Roadstar. It kills my shoulder after an hour or so. -cp   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #92583 PapaTom (User) I said 4 quarts.

There are risers that maintain the same height but pull back toward you a little too.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #92585 dearman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 275 Re:Shoulder pain...handle bars. 4 Years, 11 Months ago   If I remember I got my from Barons. I wanted a tach SOoo two birds with same bucks..saved in the long run. At 5'5' I had a reach issue , and yes they are great mine lifted and pulled back and I also rolled the bars for the perfect fit as described by Musky earlier. good luck Dearman   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #92595 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh.

Everyone's different though. There are risers that maintain the same height but pull back toward you a little too. I'm looking at the same risers.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #92669 Knightman (User) West Virginia Senior Boarder Posts: 317 Re:Shoulder pain...handle bars. 4 Years, 11 Months ago   just installed these risers....made the world of difference...rode 300 miles sunday....felt real good...before I could stand about 90-100 before the sholder pain...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #92670 rudedogg2 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Re:Shoulder pain...handle bars. 4 Years, 11 Months ago   I'm 5'8" and had the same problem.I went with a 2" draw back with no rise.I got it from cruzer custom.I also put a Mustang seat on at the same time.The sad pat is I don't know what helped more but I rode 350 miles the other day with NO problems.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
