It would be nice if I could just change the angle of my back by a few degrees. My arms are a bit too short so I have to lean in to the handle bars a bit. On a long ride it puts pressure on the palms of the hands so they start to go to sleep and my back starts to feel the strain. I would like to change the handlebar mounts so I could move the bar back an inch or two. That would allow me to sit more upright and be a bit better over the long haul. Where can I purchase different mounts and if I have to, replace all the cables with longer ones?

Sorry I don’t know what ride you have so I can only talk about my present ride 2018 Thruxton, my previous to that was a 2015 Datona675

Now I chose the Thruxton for a couple of reasons , one being comfort as I’m in my 50’s and no spring chicken.

From the get go I found the Thruxton less comfortable than the Daytona.
so I changed to lower clip ons, still not comfy.
So I fitted the fairing, now perfect with the low bars as the wind blast seems to take the weight off my arms completely.

Don’t know if this is any use to you but it may save money if you’re thinking along the same route.

Sorry, never thought about mentioning the Model. Its a 2008 Speedmaster. I also am not the spring chicken any more (66) I was just thinking about the handle bar mounts. Easiest fix I could think of. The ones I have are stock, basic straight up dog bones. There used to be some companies that sold aftermarket mounts with a 45 Deg. angle to them. Just enough to move the bar back 1-2 " and enable the rider to sit up a little straighter. Too many years of pounding with my weight forward, head tilted up and the helmet pushing down, pinching nerves. The old muscles just won't hold the back up anymore which adds to causing the body weight to rest on the arthritic hands. Too stubborn to quit though. LOL. Thanks for the tip re; a fairing. I have never used one but re-directing the air flow is food for thought.
