See who makes custom bars too. A place out of Pleasanton sells them.
Make sure those supplements actually do something, not fancy stuff. Do you really know if your form while lifting is perfect?
Also, must do core and ab work. Absolutely necessary as much as any other lift/movement/exercise.
I am going to try to go to the doctor and see if I have some body problems. But I have been hitting the weights real hard for the last few months and I am thinking that has caused an issue.. It all depends on if I can get my bars sold for a decent price.. I spent a lot of money and time on them to just let them go.. But rather see them on a fellow forum member's ride..

Rob, I think your ride will look sick with beach bars or apes...don't matter what you decide to go with. I had the same problem with my old bike, then I switched to beach bars and my shoulder did much better. Don't get me wrong I really love the look of the apes but I can't tolerate the pain, comes from an old shoulder injury. Damm pike pole. Lol.

The last few times I have risen the bike I have been having problems with my hands going numb and shoulders staying tight and cramping up.. So really on the fence on putting the complete bars up for sale.. Now since the apes are getting so popular around here I am thinking of making my own set of beach bars out of 1 1/2" DOM tubing.. Because I have not found a set I like. I like the burley bars but they are stepped 1 1/4" bars.. Now of coarse I will change the headlight to the nacelle style and riser cover to give it a clean look along with all internal wiring, brake lines, and throttle cable.. What do you boys think?
Ive got the burley and I didnt like that they were stepped in the riser area becasue I would have gladly bought 1 1/4 risers but my top clamp has a skirt on the front and that makes it unoticable for the most part. If you are getting the nacelle than I think that covers the whole thing.
Custom bars would be cool but it seems like it would be hard to get the bend exactly the same from side to side since the bars are long and have multiple angles. Boring out a set of 1 1/4 risers would be easy I guess but all and all this project would be a bit of a chore. How do you do the step down for the hand controls?
That being said I hope you do it becasue your write ups are a good read!
