[QUOTE="wil780, post: 1298453, member: 24008"] Have you tried taking your hands off the bars? Does the bike immediately lean to the left? Many of these bikes do - subject of several threads. If so, to keep the bike upright you are maintaining continuous very light pressure on the bars, either pulling on the left or pushing on the right or both. This doesn't bother most people at all, but some peoples' muscles don't like that. Try adding enough weight to the right bag to stop the lean when you let go of the bars. It might solve your problem. (In my case, pulling on the left caused a minor but annoying pain inside the left shoulder by the end of the second day. Switching to pushing on the right caused a similar pain between my spine and right shoulder blade. Carrying all my heavy stuff in the right bag fixed the problem.) [/QUOTE]
