I love my '07 ST-1300 but experienced wrist and shoulder fatique during long rides. I purchased this as my first bike last fall, so I was unsure if it was getting used to the riding position or something else. I am 6'3" but it was just a long reach for me. I ordered the riser plate from "Motorcycle Larry's". It raises the bar 1 1/4" and back by 2". The order came quickly with instructions. Not being mechanically gifted, I was unsure if I wanted to install it myself. I did, and it was much easier than I anticipated. The instructions were great, followed them to the "T". I did not have to fool with any of the cables or hoses. What a sense of accomplishment it gave me to do this. I could do another one in about an hour after doing this one. The ride is remarkably better an the handle has improved. I guess this comes with the more comfortable positioning. I highly recommend this product. I'll be looking into MCL's peg lowers and highway pegs.
