Flat bars are no longer for me unless they have some rise in them. Both my bikes were completely flat and it took it toll on me eventually. I changed it to a riser with a 1.5 inch rise and it really changes the feel to where you can ride a lot longer without soreness in the neck upper area. Here is my bar that is on both bikes. A great deal at 19 bucks shipped on ebay. Its fairly light and the price is ridiculous cheap for new.
