After riding for about an hour my shoulders begin to ache. I can't find where the 13 ST Limited has a riser option. My arms are a little short for a a comfortable ride. Welcome suggestions.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sitting position is sport.
...so most folks have to lean into the bars. I did not care for it and rode my '08 less and less each year. My RT solved all those issues (and more). Maybe a check of our vendors would be helpful? Or someone with the same model bike will be helpful and make a post.
Anyhow....welcome to the board!!

:welcome: You might try sitting closer to the bars instead of back. Or a different seat maybe in order.

Cole, I also have a 2013 ST Limited. I am 5-8 1/2 and the first purchase I made was a Ultimate Seat. I have rode for over 4 hours straight with no problem. I use to get shoulder and back pain when riding my two wheel motorcycle. I was worried that I would experience the same problem and was certainly relieved that the back and shoulder problems have not returned.

:agree: It's more of a seating issue, than a handlebar issue. :welcome:

I had the same issue with our ST and I purchased the BRP adjustable handlebars. BRP dosen't say that they will fit an ST so I was going to make it last winters project to get them to fit. I solved that issue by trading our ST in on a RT so I do not know if they would have fit, but I still believe that they would.
I hope you find a solution!
BTW Welcome!!

New seats, or handlebars $500 and up.
I ended up putting 3" risers on my RS handlebars, but not sure that can be done with the ST.

I have the same problem with aching shoulders after a while when riding. I am going to be purchasing a Corbin Lamonster seat, after I save up a little more. I think that will bring me down into the right position and get rid of the tilted forward position. That's my thought anyway. If that fails I'm going to look at some handlebar risers.
