Handlebars
I'm thinking of changing my handlebars out on my 2006 Nomad. I have the Aeromach 4" risers.
One of my riding buddies is an Ergonomics Evaluator and told me that my handlebars should be designed so that the grips are in line with my deltoid muscle, which would mean each side brough in 3 inches and the grips should almost be perpendicular to the direction of travel with the very ends ever so slightly turned down. In other words, like your hands are positioned on a ergo keyboard. Anyone changed their handlebars out for something close to what I've outlined??? any good companies out there that you know of?? I've notice in between my should blades hurts more and more and I'm hoping handlebars that are ergo help.

Look at a set of bars off a Voyager. I think the grips are positioned about where you want them and they are long enough that you could probably go back to the stock risers.

I had the same pain between my shoulders and added 3" straight Chuckster risers. No more pain!
