Handle Bar Extenders

I just removed the murph extenders i used them for a 100 miles or so.. I felt cramped in my shoulders and arms.. I prefer the stock length which my arms are allmost fully extended.. Has anyone else experienced this?
 
My exact opposite experience.  I get a cramp between my shoulders without the bar risers.

I found this to be true for me (between the shoulder blades). But only on long days in the saddle. On short rides they tend to be more comfy. But then I really liked the bike when I removed them upon trade in because it felt livelier again with the sharper handling. So I don't know if I would install them again or not if I acquired another new C14? I guess I would run them a few days. Then take them off for a few days and see how they feel!  :D

I did the same thing.  Thank goodness Murph's gave me a full refund.  I always check their website first for stuff I need for my C-14.
At six feet I guess I'm average size, the one change in fitment I made to my '08 was a Sargent seat with leather cover.
