    Riding posture for shorter riders ( < 5' 8")

    How is the riding position on this for shorter riders?

    I'm about 5' 6" and was thinking about this for some longer trips.

    I'm thinking I'd have to get replacement handlebars and possibly wiring to accommodate but I'm curious if anyone has any experience?

    I think you might find that installing Heli Bars, with a taller Givi windscreen and some gel grips will enhance your "man/machine interface". You do not have to change the wiring to use the Heli Bars. Adding a Sargent seat and a Throttlemeister (for long trips) help also. Good luck on it. Bob (retired Human Factors Engineer).
