Then, as for best practices, ask your surgery recovery doctors for movement & strength exercises.

Higher shoe heels, group rides, landing gear...maybe not so helpful?

Yet if the pain and/or your strength is an issue, time for a lighter new bike

Good luck with your recovery.

Sooner or later, it will happen to all of us.... I know what I will do when the time comes....

 

I've had rotator cuff surgery on the left and the right one is due next. Pick up a set of motorcycle drop guards https://motorcycledropguards.com/ and sign up for an advanced riding course at your local HD dealership. The advanced course is only a step up from the beginner course except you use your own bike.

 

I myself research alternatives on how to ride my ultra classic safely again. I'm dealing with sciatica nerve pain from my back to lower extremities. An because of this, at times I deal with balance issues. I budgeting to purchase the Landing Gear kit... cheaper than a trike too.
