    Im getting a left shoulder pain.at 5'1 n 60 kg  i think my handle bars are to far foward and that im to far streached. im looking at getting 4" curved risers but unsure if this will do the job (found them in acc bible)....was told by hd to put drag bars on it but after sitting on 1 it didnt seem to make any differnce...there other suggestion was reach seat but the lo seat is so comfy......any suggestions welcome......

    I'm with Dave, a set of mini apes(in black) will not only look great on a lo but sit you in a better position to ease the load on your shoulder, I've spoken to heaps of ppl with not only rotor cuff and other shoulder injuries but lower back probs that swear by them...

    May be a answer

    So can you put apes on without changing the cables? I am looking the riser option for my Fatboy. I have the risers on backorder but would look at apes. What size can I use without the need to swap cables?

    Cheers
