Handlebar replacement

[barginhunter8]

I have a 2005 VTX1300R Motortrike. I have been having problems with having to stretch too far to reach the handlebars. I have to lean in, and I am not in a good sitting position. It is causing neck problems. After a 250 mile ride or so, the next day I can barely turn my head and my shoulders are so tight. I already have risers on it. I was wondering if anyone else has had or is having any kind of problem like this, and if so did you replace your handlebars and where did you get them?

My Wife has the same Trike and is only 5'2".....what kind/brand of Risers do You have. I put RIVCO Brand on Hers with a 5" Rise, and almost 2" 0f pull-back.....worked out Great for Her. I can get the Part Number if You're interested.....ThumbUp

Hi Skuuter! Thank you for the response to Barginhunter8. She is my wife and we are trying to figure out this issue to get her some bars that she can ride with comfortably. Sometime after her profile picture was made we added a fairing on the front of the bike. The problem with adding taller risers now is that the fairing curves up and over the risers currently, and unless the new longer risers extend significantly towards the rider they will not clear the fairing. We were hoping that there may be some bars that extend out closer to the rider and are not quite as wide as the stock bars she is using...
