So see if your helmet has a way to adjust it's tilt so the front of it is higher on your forehead. If your helmet has a removable visor, then try a few rides with the visor removed.
I'm not the OP, but I believe you gave me the same advice when I said I had a sore neck after lowering my handlebar. That turned out to be spot-on. I'd had a visor attached to my helmet, and I had to crane my neck to prevent the visor from blocking my view. I took the visor out and adjusted my head angle. Now the neck pain is gone, even with my handlebar even lower than when I first asked about it. So... thank you!
