[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1368566, member: 13598"] I have a Gen2 and started with simple Genmar riser blocks but just this last winter switched to a Helibar top plate with additional risers for just the reasons you describe. Also I found that if I let my head "settle", kinda scrunch down and chin drift forward, I also get the discomfort described. I have to make a concerted effort to keep the neck extended and the head tilted slightly down, looking through the top half of the helmet visor. Not letting the shoulders droop is not a natural thing after several hours in the seat, especially in the hotter of days. Another way to picture it is: if you ride with a shorter windshield and the interstate-speed air is constantly hitting your helmet right above the visor then the natural tendency over time is too allow the head to be pushed back/tilt up, especially if a straighter up seating position is desired. This leads to the symptoms described, trust me. See what I mean? [/QUOTE]
