Flatspot, I think Kerry is on to something by suggesting you angle the brake lever to align with your wrist/ forearm.

Am still trying to work out where ir should be. If the bike is on the rear paddock stand, front wheel sitting straight. Looking at he bike side on, taking the bar to be the centre of the clock face, where do you have your lever, 3,4, or 5 o'clock, or somewhere between those numbers?

cheers

To check the lever positions, put your hands on the bars in your usual riding position and flex your fingers without moving your wrists or arms. Both levers should lie just beneath your fingers.

Ideally, your hand should be horizontally in line with your forearm. If you have to move your hand significantly to reach the controls, the levers need moving.

Mark the levers' original position against the handlebars with tape and then slacken the clamps. Move the levers around the bars and re-clamp them in position. Repeat until they're right.
