best thing i found to do:

yes you do look a twat doing it but so what....

bike on centre stand
sit on bike, hands down by sides.
close eyes
put hands out as if on bars so they are comfortable.

open eyes and see how far up and back you need.

simple!

Good advice above, you need to see what your 'comfortable' position on the bike is before you do anything. I am 6' with a 1200 GSA and felt myself leaning forward slightly to hold the handlebars, I really wanted to be a couple of inches back and up with my hands to avoid backache. Anyway brought and fitted Touratech handlebar risers (there are others out there)and best thing I ever did (feels strange at first though). Sam
