ever tried BMW bar backs? will they fit?
Maybe changing the seat location?
You may also want to double check the alignment of the front wheel. Just a
slight bit off and it can cause aches like that as you fight the bars
| Been thinking about raising the LAPD handlebars (still have the stock bars) on my '72 Eldo in an attempt to relieve the chronic right scapula soreness I acquired last year on a 2000 mile trip; too many long days in the saddle, I guess. I have a Wixom Ranger fairing but I think I with some creative bending, I can get the handlebar supports to work with risers since the attach to the top of the handlebar clamps. The only risers I've been able to locate for Guzzi's is a set for $100 from Harper's(http://www.harpermotoguzzi.com/handlebar_risers.htm); " The risers replace the 7/8" tube type handlebar clamp-cap and will rise the bars up 3/4" and back 3/4" ". Anyone tried them out? Or should I be looking for another method to relieve the pain? Bruce '72 Eldo |
