Wow nice to know I'm not the only one getting old lol
Had the same issue with my streetglide I was bummed out here I have a 20000 plus motorcycle and I couldn't ride more then a hr without pain for days and once a added the apes it solved the problem try some pull back risers there cheap enough and most bikes have enough slack to ad them without wire and cable changes ad long as you don't go to High and tall right now I have some on my standard I think there from a custom not to sure but they put me where I need to be

I had similar issue....installed 4 in up ....1.5 in back pullbacks riders...and rotated bars up a bit. Lucky did not need to rewire. Solved shoulder pain. Im not a fan of apes...makes for bad slow speed driving.
