I ridden the 9" versions of the v1 and they are awesome. I've ridden Wilson's bike with the 8's and they are good to just bit too short for my old man spine
Good order.

Cheers
And yeah I've ridden and owned 7.5" 8", 8.25", 8.5",9" and 9.5" bars on my bike. 8" seemed to leave me with a bad back at the end of the day but gave me higher hop than the rest. but i also have a inch rise and the s&m turtle neck stem now so it will bring it up a bit. from how it used to be when i ran 8"
And I rode some guys bike in the town over that had them in 9" and i loved the feel and stiffness of the bars so i get them right away

wait, wait.. so MY bars themselves could be causing this back pain I experience?
GET OUT?!!! FOR REALs???
I thought it was all in my head...
Then I thought it was cuz I am old.. then I thought maybe cuz i'm outta shape?
but no way??? It may be my bars?
How can I fix this?

It's mainly the fact of bending your back all day at the angle.
the straighter you back the better. thats why big bars work for some people.
Also doing over extension pigroots and landing still in pig root is bad for your back as well.

Well yes bar height could be your problem or like you've said your lack of muscle strength in your back could cause this. Also flexibility helps a lot. If your stiff as a board with no core strength your back can/will hurt. being more up right can help back pain.
At the moment I'm trying to improve my core strength and flexibility but taller bars are helping at the moment.
My V1's are abit on the bent side still rideable more a visual thing

20 sit up's, then 20 push ups, then 20 squats, 3 sets of each..
