Default Bar/Riser...Sore Neck

I have a 2008 Nightrain and during 1 hour+ rides my neck get sore as a SOB. I'm 5'7" and I recently swapped out the stock risers with the HD Slotted risers\\; they brought the stock bars a little bit closer to me but my neck still gets sore. I've looked at the Wild 1 web-site and seen afew different bars (500 &amp\\; 501) that seem that they might help, but before investing the money and time I thought that may someone here may have a solution.
&nbsp\\;
Any thoughts/suggestions?

I changed out the stock 6" risers for 4" to get me down and out of the wind a bit.Keeps my head from buffing around so much.

Default Risers

Where did you get your 4" risers? I'd like to do the same to my NT

Default HD bars for NT

I had the same problem with my neck and lower back. (I have had neck surgery with a plate put in) I am also 5'6" and found a set of bars listed in the 08 HD catalog just for the train. It is for people like with a short reach and want to ride in a more upright position. They bring the bars 5" closer to you. Everyone that has sat on my train before and after I had them put on like them MUCH better. The bars with risers were $159.95 list (looks like 4 1/2"risers and the bars are 28" tip to tip (similar to a set up on a Deuce). Dealer install was about $130.00 if I remember correctly. Now I can ride Hrs without any problems. I did 300 miles one day last week and could have gone 300 more. The part # is 56029-00 on page 332 of the 2008 catalog. Hope this helps.
