Ouch! $220? Should be under $100 for 2 blocks of aluminum. Wow.:think:I know you're looking for Heli-bars but if that doesn't work out for you and you are looking to increase the bar height, my ST2 came with these. Look good and work well.

I have the same problem and I always blamed the helmet weight and my age (63). However, it got much worse when I used the 7 degree back setting on my Dr. Desmo risers. I put it back to the stock position and can ride much longer without the pain in my shoulder and neck. I think that wrist angle put pressure on the nerves agravating the neck and upper back area. Play around with bar angle and see if it is lessened any..I still get a sore neck after a few hundred miles though..aint the bike, its the body. Sixty one and climbing, happy I can ride anywhere
IT's not just the age at 63, it's also the miles. At 39 years, 900 miles in a weekend can wear ya out too! How is the clearance on your fairing with the Dr. D's in place?I have the same problem and I always blamed the helmet weight and my age (63).

I have the 1/2 inch and clearance is tight but works fine. He says the 1 inch clear with no problem also. The bars move back as well as up due to the angle.IT's not just the age at 63, it's also the miles. At 39 years, 900 miles in a weekend can wear ya out too!
