Thank you

 

Before you get too wrapped up in bad advice, do some research on the "rider triangle" and see how you can make changes to get a better riding position without throwing a bunch of money away.

 

thank you!

 

You wearing a helmet? How much does it weigh? The rider triangle suggestion is spot on.

I suffered mid upper back pain. Between the shoulder blades. Taller bars helped. A riders backrest may help with your posture also. I fought putting the backrest on until this year. Wish I did it 6 years ago.

 

still recovering?!?!

after they started hurting (45 minutes ) did you stop, get off regular to stretch/relax or force thru 200 more miles to the point you're "still recovering?

what did you ride before the RG?


..L.T.A.

 

Yep!

 

I was trying a modular helmet, then switched back to my half after having neck pain.

 

Did you have it on other rides??

For me i need to relax my shoulders and lower

Raised bars on FLHT , is why I don't buy one. But again is this new?

 

We really don't know enough about the OP to make a recommendation for his dilemma. Is he a new rider? Was this his first long trip? Is he used to riding this bike and is he relaxed or tense when he rides? Is he tall or short? I'm hesitant to recommend any changes to the bike without answers to these questions.

 

Do you have neck problems? I have neck and back problems my neck never really bothered me but my back has . I'm just the opposite taller bars bother me more I'll start hurting right between my shoulder blades . Maybe you need to see a Dr and get an MRI . My back hurt but I didn't realize it was so bad until a MRI and a Myelogram . Two back surgeries later I'm still riding but heading for my third one Wednesday.
