Several years ago, I was getting horrible pain while riding our tandem that radiated from my shoulder blade to my neck. Finally, one day, while the putting our tandem in our van and securing it to a fork mount, I could see looking straight at it that one lever may be higher than the other. I had my mechanic check it out to make sure and and the levers were a smidgen off. We had crashed the bike and had to tape the bars, straighten levers, etc. but got one slightly higher than the other. Problem solved and no more pain.
