[QUOTE="Greenham, post: 1298355, member: 88281"] OK guys. I am asking the guys who have solved so many problems for me and my Gen 1 over the last year. I have been fighting off a serious LEFT shoulder neck pain after riding for over 2 hrs. It is ALWAYS the left shoulder shooting up the neck. In an effort to solve this here is what I have done. Physically I am a freak. I am long waisted, which means of my nearly 6 3" height the majority is in my torso and not my legs. it seems that most of you guys have a far more normal physique. Prior to the FJR I rode. A Vrod (35k miles) no pain. Before that a Honda Valkyrie (65k miles) no pain 1. Larger/Taller windshield (thinking I was fighting the buffeting of the smaller windscreen a- All the way up all the way down, and every position in between 2. Seats... I have tried 2 or 3 seats until I ended up with a Russel Day Long 3. Handlebar positions a- All the way forward, All the way back, and 1/2 way 4. Helibar risers a- All the way forward, All the way back, and 1/2 way 5. Riser plate w/ Helibar risers (double riser) a- All the way forward, All the way back, and 1/2 way 6. MCL Peg lowering 7. Open face 3/4 helmet (thinking my Shoei full face was to heavy) 8. Read and studied the Dick Frantz' Riding Position posts I bet I have put close to $1,500 into making this a bike I can be comfortable on, but I just can't seem to crack the code.To me it feels like maybe I am stretching my short arms to reach the bars from my long waist.. Does anyone have any experience similar to this and figured it out. I feel I am running out of options. [/QUOTE]
