Control Positioning.

I couldn't find a thread on this topic here so post up a link if there is one. Below are pictures of my current set up.

Hands
When mountain biking years ago I was taught to stand with your feet on the ground and put the levers just under your fingers w/o bending the wrists. I find this is very comfortable for me on a moto as well. The problem with the Ninja is that your levers only go so far down so now I have levers at their respective limits, which are two different elevations. They do work better but are still not ideal.

Is there a better way?


Feet
I have not adjusted the foot controls since I don't know where to begin. The pictures show the foot area and my feet in three different positions in the following order:
  1. No foot;
  2. Foot in relaxed or riding position but not touching control;
  3. Foot actuating control;
  4. Ball of foot resting on peg.

Is there a better way?

Feet look good.

Hands -- I too like to have the levers rotated down as far as they'll go. I never did find a way around the interference issues.

The point here is to be comfortable operating the controls. If you're not struggling to activate the foot controls, aren't accidentally applying the rear brake, and not getting hung up on things, you're fine.
