Default FXDF bars

Has anyone adjusted the angle from stock? Was it more comfortable?&nbsp\\; I'm finding they are not very comfortable after 140 miles or so. Thinking of mini apes or something.

Not to get off-topic on my own post, but what makes apes addictive?&nbsp\\; I've sat on bikes with mini apes and really tall apes, the mini apes seemed more natural feeling.&nbsp\\; But i don't have and long distance riding experience with either of them.

I angled mine down for awhile ,you can't angle them down much cause the throttle and idle cables start to rub the filler cap and up is just goofy. there is a thread in the how to under 50 $$ on how a guy&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; got 8 washers and longer bolts and extended his risers an inch. I get what you mean my neck gets kinda soar after awhile.
&nbsp\\;
The thread is by JRK5892 https://www.hdforums.com/m_2546488/tm.htm&nbsp\\;called 3 dollar homemade risers

I did over 500 miles in three days and didn't have a single complaint. Is it your back or your wrists? If its the back, then consider some bag/backrest.

Wrists? Well, I guess you might want new bars or maybe a larger grips maybe?
