[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1440465, member: 68615"] Garyahouse, For the back and neck pain, I would suggest making the conversion from the stock handlebars to the standard 7/8" (22mm) tubular handlebars. ABM has a nice billet adapter, but you can spend much more or much less. Most bike shops have a slew of handlebars of all shapes and sizes, and will let you take one (at a time) outside to quick-check what each choice may do for you. The tubular handlebars can also reduce or eliminate vibrations which can cause numbness in the hands or wrists. You may need to re-route or extend control lines, but that can be true with any handlebar risers/lifter plates. No need to tolerate the discomfort, or even to quit riding. Still, I can understand if the responsibilities of life are getting in the way there. If you stop riding, that may be the right call for you at this time. [/QUOTE]
