I had no such pains, got new seat that moved me up and back a little, than came the pain, got new bars, pains gone.

 

I have a pinched nerve in my neck,caused by arthritis which causes that pain. I'm thinking about changing out my Deluxe bars for heritage ones. Think it will help?

 

I put a backrest on, it seems to force me to sit up a little better than I would without it. It really did take care of the upper back/shoulder pain.

LOL!!!! The pain in your neck isn't the bars, it's behind you in the passenger seat!!! J/J

 

Marriage pain starts approximately 18" lower than described.

 

a couple of vicadin washed down by a six pack generally take care of the aches and pains from sitting in the saddle all day. but after ten hours, you may need to repeat the pain meds.

 

Thank you guys for all the answers/suggestions.The pain usually appears on longer rides never in city traffic where tension should happen.No,the pain is not wife-derived I can control that before it strikes.This makes me think that the problem lies in the handlebars/riding position,I've sent a second e-mail (hope they reply this time) to Wild1 for further info on their 575s and if they confirm that their bars won't interfere with my fairing mirrors I'll go ahead and order hoping they'll solve my problem.

 

strange that you suffer this problem now when you had the bike already for a while i assume. Did you modify anything on that bike since before the problem appeared? windshield, helmet, highway pegs?

 

I've had this problem for quite sometime but it doesn't happen every time I ride,all the controls/handlebars etc. haven't been changed.

 

I had the same issues with pain between shoulders and some back pain (due to multiple back operations after being rear ended on my road king several years ago) I changed out the stock bars on my 13flhx for 12" PYO monkey bars and went with a Mustang solo seat with back rest. I now can ride for hrs without any discomfort. I would recommend that you talk to some other riders that have taller bars before buying a particular style. See if you can sit on the bikes with different bars to see what height, width, and pullback you like. I went with the 12" monkey bars (wish I had gone with 14")and I can use my fairing mirrors with out issue but I do think that the monkey bars are a bit taller than other brands of the same height. I changed my brake and clutch cables as well.
