Has anyone fitted either higher handlebars or risers to a monster 600, 900 etc, my 695 riding position is causing me to get a neck ache after only 20-30 miles, may be due to me being “vertically challenged “, or my geriatric age, before anyone else suggests these causes!
@Tony Richardson Is your bike standard? My wife has a 695, is 5 foot 5 tall and while wouldn't dream of mentioning her age neither of us are yoofs. She doesn't seem to get neck ache when riding so I wonder if your bike has non standard bars or if something else is causing the problem. Perhaps a fairing directing the air flow to exactly the wrong place or maybe even the wrong type of helmet for a naked bike.
Looks standard to me. Can I suggest you take the fairing off and give that a try before trying anything that involves spending money.
I have had the same problem with other bikes, my Yamaha MT03 for instance, cured by fitting handlebar raisers, I’m not sure there is enough slack in the front brake braided hose to allow raising any further.
