yep
Bought the tri-axis handle bar and it helps some.
Relaxing he grip seems to help some for me.

Position...
handlebars don't affect your neck as much as your ryding position. Windsheild type and deflection, helmet, seating, backrest etc cause you to use your neck more or less causing some folks problems. But many have gotten help by changing to different bars because it helps change their posture.

Before I got the tri-axis bars, I had shoulder pain from the wide grips. Keeping a looser grip also might help. If you're tensing up in general your neck may be taking the worst of it.

+1 on the shoulder pain and mine was fixed by adding the TriAxis bars.

The wide grip on the stock bars caused arm, back, shoulder and neck pain. the Tri Axis Handlebars and a drivers backrest eliminated the discomfort.

I am 5'4" and have no issues but ride with a back rest which is really nice. I thought I wouldn't need it but find I like the back support. It likely helps with slouching which might contribute to your problem. Also relax, the Spyder will track the road nicely....no need to oversteer.

Tri-axis and backrest makes riding more comfortable. Now to fix the aching tailbone problem.

I put on a backrest within a month of getting my 13 RT Ltd. helped somewhat and then played with adjustment and found that moving it to a higher position and more forward so I'm not leaning back. Also, in the twitters I find that if I pull with the side closer to me on the bars and just use the other hand as a guide helps because you're not always stretching out so much. And remember to use a light grip. The bike steers really easy.
