Thanks for the advice, I will do so. I've been riding over forty years & I'm asking myself why i waited so long to join this forum, doh!

Again, your suggestions are welcome.

Welcome to the forum from the Netherlands, pp07streetglide!

Try to figure out your most relaxed position on your bike.

Put your bike on the lift, sit on it, close your eyes and stretch your arms with relaxed shoulder/neck muscles towards the handlebar.

Open your eyes in this position and check if your handlebar has to be adjusted to this position. If necessary make the adjustment and try it out on your next ride.
