New Bars

Hey Gents/Gals,

My upper back hurts after about 80 miles on my stock (bars) 05 1600 classic. I think it's from hunching forward. Has anyone else remedied this with higher bars? I really like the ones Jared had on his bike that I saw on here. My bike also has a fairing so risers are out of the equation. Anyone else have any other bar or other recommendations?

I just ordered a set of these bars . It seems they are very popular in the nomad community . They are a perfect fit without having to change your cables. Your bars are the same part number as mine so they should do the job.
It's a good starting point . wish you luck and ride safe

I have a fairing and risers on the bike. The risers touch the fairing and will be getting replaced with bars. They are going to measurer my setup next week to see what they can get. Ape hangers won't work for me as I need them back and up a little and don't want to ride with my arms up in the air. I prefer my arms bent at the elbow and me sitting straight.
