Already have some riser/pullbacks on my '15 S10. I must not have "orangoutang arms" because I still need another 1-2". I can't do ANY forward leaning due to an old whiplash injury that aggravates quickly, so I have to be sitting back. I also have a Victory Cross Country Tour with an obvious completely different seating position and that is OK for me. Looking for recommendations on the pullbacks and I'll need to extend some cables. Your help there too. I'm not a mechanic but have some skills and a long MN winter to work on it in my newly built heated third stall garage. Will be a good winter project for me. Photos of current setup.

In that case you might also look at a different set of handlebars. Probably the best option in this case.
Who is the manufacturer of your riser setbacks? Looks like Helibar... What is the rise and setback measurements?
I'll bet you with those and new bars you could get it where you want it.
On another note... ever see a good chiropractor for your neck?

Not 100% sure on either of your questions TG. I bought the bike used 3 years ago. I think it's 2"up and 1" back, but not certain. Not even sure the bars I have are factory or if they are some aftermarket that already pulls them back. How can I tell that? And yes I have seen many chiros and continue to do so. Just something I have to live with. 90% of the time it's fine.

I'll go take pictured measurements of my Helibar setbacks and you can compare. Take a few pictures of the bars from above and side plus an angle so we can see the whole setup.so far the finish looks like stock bars. I'll take pics of those too. Pro-taper seems to be what I read about on this forum for replacement bars.
