I'm about the same stamp as him. Built like a Streak of piss. Makes knee down action much easier though!
Ha love it, hi flatstick I'm your opposite! 5 ft 6 and 15 stone lol just trimmed down from 16 1/2 ( amazing what a new bike can do for you) I'll try different things and let you know how I get on.
Well the blade feels more roomy than my R6 - though found it easier to get behind the bubble in that as the seat seemed to go further back on that. The tank is a bit obstructive on the blade sothink that's maybe how your struggling to get low down on it Try what I said and actually stick your head forward into the screen rather than low down. Works for me fine.

If you lay flat as in legs out behind you rest ya legs on rear indicators you will be all doing 200+ like me :Banane21:
That's a good point. My own Watney's Party Seven against the tank does tend to hold me off the front end and at 5' 8" I am only using the front half of the seat to start with, so getting tucked in for me might mean resorting to Bats' technique.
I managed 70mph? tonight with a simple Double buble on my RR5, AGV stealth lid and no head problems, Bumpy B road, never mind the head it was the pants that were of concern? Home safe
FLATSTICK, you were right its getting down flat thats the key, had a little ride out tonight and as long as you get your arse right back against the seat hump, tuck them arms well in all was good! another 20 on top!!! and still going, f_ck me. ive ordered the honda taller screen as well today from honda bournmouth,£95 after discount! also pulled the pin on the gi pro gear indicator, expensive day again. lol. ride safe guys.
Get it spent my man! Im back Monday night by the way so if you fancy it we can go for a blast. Masher66 is after a ride out at some point too.
Just as a follow up to this thread incase anyone else has problems, (dan) was right from the off, a taller screen is the answer, got a genuine Honda one and the difference is obvious, it's much easier now to reach ?? Whatever you want! Ha.
Yeah it was night and day on mine. The high screen deflects everything over your head . Loads more comfortable at high speeds
quicker than you can say YeeHaa Grandma ! .... Seriously thou , someone did post up the 0 - 62 and 0 - 100 but i cant remember the times now
Too many variables to quote anything but factory approximations. 0-60 in 3ish, flat out 165-185 depending on the depth of the bullshit.
