    Hello Paul and welcome.

    I had to address both issues with my xrt. I'd get a pain right between the shoulder blades after a fair time in the saddle. Cured it completely by fitting the bar risers ( triumphs own ).

    Top of the range screen ( there are many, cheaper alternatives ) is the Madstad. Excellent but they're so expensive at about £280.

    I fitted a used givi airflow screen for £70. Really happy with it. Its adjustable, with a great range of movement.

    Any specific questions just holler.

    Sorry mate. Thought they were triumphs own. I bought them off the same chap selling the screen I bought about 12 months ago. I've had a look and they have no makers ID on them.

    Tried to attach a photo

    Hi Paul, welcome from me.

    Johnjo's advice is spot on.... Triumph's own risers (tell your dealer you want the bar mounts that come 'standard' on the XC model) and Givi Air Flow screen.

    My 2017 XRT was the most uncomfortable bike I've owned until I made those changes (along with a new seat).

    The above two photos look exactly like my (XC) bar mounts, they raise the handlebar approx. 25mm which made all the difference for me.

    Hi All. Newbie here from Downunder.
    I was thinking of putting some risers on my 2019 XRT as I feel a little pitched forward when standing on the pegs ( on the occasional dirt road)
    Did the SW Motech 20mm Handlebar Bar Risers interfere with control cables at all ?
    Cheers, Ant.

    No problems, cables plenty long enough.

    Welcome in BTW. :)
