ever tried BMW bar backs? will they fit?
Maybe changing the seat location?

You may also want to double check the alignment of the front wheel. Just a
slight bit off and it can cause aches like that as you fight the bars


 Been thinking about raising the LAPD handlebars (still have the stock
bars) on my '72 Eldo in an attempt to relieve the chronic right scapula
soreness I acquired last year on a 2000 mile trip; too many long days in
the saddle, I guess. I have a Wixom Ranger fairing but I think I with
some creative bending, I can get the handlebar supports to work with
risers since the attach to the top of the handlebar clamps.

The only risers I've been able to locate for Guzzi's is a set for $100
from Harper's(http://www.harpermotoguzzi.com/handlebar_risers.htm); "
The risers replace the 7/8" tube type handlebar clamp-cap and will rise
the bars up 3/4" and back 3/4" ". Anyone tried them out?

Or should I be looking for another method to relieve the pain?
