When out on my 2002 ss/ie I get the same wrist ache when in traffic, I'm looking at changing the bars as I don't get any wrist ache on the old carby ss. It's more the downward angle of the bars that seems to cause the problem, I use my legs a lot to grip the tank and even alter my hand position, but I still get the ache !!! Anyone fitted other bars to an ie/ss to get over this problem ?
