Best cure is to ride it at least an hour every day and/or do some weight exercises. A couple of weeks should see you right and it,'s worth it for the ride.Or be soft and fit a comfort kit.

Actually, I've just got some GSXR-750L clip ons - to drop my riding position down and forward a touch, I must be mad...

Just fitted the VFR 750 (1997) ones to the VTR tonight quite straight forward. I didnt need to cur the fairing i simply fitted a couple of washers between the fairing and the support via the wing mirrors which pushes the fairing out a couple of cm's which allows it to clear. So it means in future i can easily revert back to the original clip on's.

Will get a pic and post it.

Now i need to find bar ends that are flush fit for these VFR units, any suggestions??
