Default Neck pain

When I ride my E.Glide, I get a sharpe pain at the base of my neck. I know this is because of the handlebars and I need to bring them back a few inches. I am not sure on how that would look on my E.Glide. Has anyone on here had the pain? If so, what did they do to fix this problem. Has anyone moved their bars back? If so, how did it look?

Thanks for any advice.

+1 on the Khromewerks bars. You won't believe the difference.

Hey Dawg can you post more pics of your bike with the Kromework's bars installed. I might get these as they are half the price of the H-D pullback bars.

Thanks

May be stupid question, but most always refer to fitting the Electra Glides, Road Glides, but don't mention the Street Glide. My assumption is they would work there too.

Also, did you have to splice or run new wiring since it's internal, and I'm sure you had to run a new longer clutch cable, correct?
