Default Painful pointy

Just done 110 miles on the bike and after about 40 miles I wanted to get off.
My back and wrists were so painful i just wasn't enjoying it as much and more worryingly i wasn't concentrating as much.
I just got the bike 2 weeks ago and that's my 3rd long ride and every one has been the same.
I'm always very light on the bars and keep my arms relaxed but my wrists were still throbbing and had pins and needles.
Anyway, I'm thinking I sell the bike and buy a naked sv or I get a comfort kit, really bladdy annoying because I love how the bike looks with the clip ons.

So you people who have had similar problems or people that have fitted a comfort kit please tell me how your getting on and if it's worth the money.

Thanks
Mark

Comfort kit takes the lead but it's short lived as naked SV pulls one back after only 2 minutes!

Try riding for 36 hours.

You'll be pleased to know the pain just levels out after a while.
