Nice looking ride. Notice you're running CooperB bar risers. I'm thinking of doing the same. How do you find them in terms of comfort?

The bar risers make quite a difference. I liked the look and feel of the original riding position but my old arthritic body parts weren't so keen. I was getting quite a bit of pain in my wrists, hands, shoulders and neck after 40 - 50 miles. After fitting the bar risers I can do double (or triple) that without much discomfort. Your'e still not upright but they make quite a difference. I also angled the bars back a little (moving the little guides out of the way). They're a little bit of a faff to fit, you'll need a bike jack, drop the forks etc and it's easier if you have an assistant but well worth it for me. They're a reasonable price and don't look too bad either.

@@leighcoulson2148 Cool, thanks. Weirdly, I bought a pair of the bar extenders before I actually bought the bike! It was just a spur to get me to commit to the purchase. Anyway, I'm in two minds or not whether to fit them as I''m experimenting with different grips to see if that makes a difference, and like you, I like the look of the originals, they're just a tad too low. I did swap out the seat though for the 'premium deluxe' touring version which is wider but still stepped and more comfortable.
