[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1172762, member: 436"] I came from a small cruiser to the FJR and had a lot of issues with comfort. I just enjoyed the bike enough to ignore the minor pain and stiffness and it didn't take long before the 'Yoda' riding position became comfortable for me and I was no longer comfortable riding the cruiser. That's just me, and others have tried a bunch of things to get comfortable. Still, I would recommend that you get a few more thousand miles on so you can see how much you adapt to the machine before you spend time and money on modifications. If your wrists hurt then there are two possibilities. You may be leaning too much weight on the bars because your back and hips haven't gotten used to the 'Yoda' riding position, or the angle of the bars is the problem. I found the angle to be uncomfortable at first, but eventually got used to it. Bar risers may help. Again, get some more miles experience before you resort to risers. [/QUOTE]
