Andrew,
I've yet to see an actual replacement for the handlebars... but only as a suggestion try this...
Don't use your hands on the bars to support ALL of your upper body weight. Instead try to use your core abdominal muscles to hold most of your upper body weight most of the time, keeping that weight off your hands and wrists and relaxing, using them just for steering inputs and controlling the bike thru countersteering the bars.
Do exercizes to strengthen your core muscles, if needed. You'll find it not only helps your lower back, but will make you a much better long distance rider as well.
I tend to use this method in alteration... resting my arms by using my core... and then resting my core by using my arms.
I've done 8-900 mile days on the C14 this way with no pain in my arms/wrists and I have the stock bar setup.
Only a suggestion/ hope it helps
Jerry
