Dont give up, even if it takes a while to heal, you will adapt and learn that neurofen is your best mate, pop 2 about an hour before you want to ride and you will be fine for a couple of hours.
failing that get some cyclecat bars for your bike and adjust to a position that suits you best.
i put some on my 916 for a trip to spain, it made such a difference i left them on when i got back, really transforms the bike, i got this tip from BDG and never looked back
