Position is Perfect. Tank does not hit.

Actually this is not fully riding position . but the self timer on the camera is too fast.
My bum will be about 1/2" - 1" further back. Pushes back forwards a bit. Shoulders roll back a bit.

Problems:
All the control cables will need to be lengthened. I estimate 3".
The banjo bolt on the ruddy M/Cylinder hits the bars - So I will need to lengthen the section of tube under the grips a bit. 2"-ish
I'll make them out of BAR so they'll act as weights. tbh I'd anticipated this banjo bolt thing but sometimes I'd like to be proven wrong.

AND I'll need to make/find some extension looms for the wiring cables - esp left side. This is a bit of a swine.

The observant amongst you may also notice the spacers ABOVE the bar on the clamp. Raises the clocks a bit

I like the measurement schematic from Chris.
How one looks astride a motor is pretty useless, not knowing the riders dims.

Most important for handlebar fitment is to have the rider sit comfortably and place his hands where he would like the bars to be.


The horizontal measurement from the center of the bar base back to where the outside of the rider's hands are and the vertical dimension up to the rider's hands are the two most critical dimensions. Finding bars that closely fit these two dims will work best. Cockwise wrist rotation & grip angle are significant for best comfort.

Not all bar advertisersers use the correct bar measurement system. The face of the bars should be placed flat against the vertical plane of a 90゚surface. The vertical measurement from the base surface up to the end of the bar grip is the "end height". The horizontal measurement from the base surface to the end of the bar grip is the "pull back".
Aligning the bars closest to the fork angle when mounting is best for strength. The mounted bar angle should then be used to calculate the resultant "pull back" and bar "end height". (I find the use of a 3D CAD program quicker than doing the calcs.)
