I'm 65 and I've been riding a long time. For the last 10 years, I've been on a Road King. On November 1, 2019 I picked up a new Africa Twin DCT in black. I live in Canada so I've had a hard time putting the miles on with the cold and the snow, but 1 have 650 km so far, just enough to tell you I love it and am looking forward to a much broader adventure spectrum than was available with my RK. If anyone can tell me the diameter of my bars that would be great. I'm a very short rider and I think I'll need to bring the bars back a bit for those long rides. Gerry

Where is Canada?
If you are in Vancouver stop by the Pacific Riding School booth at the Bike show next weekend and have a chat about local riding.
Try rolling the bars back. Dealers set them up too far forward for Stand-up riding.
Bend in the bars should be parallel with the for tubes for neutral steering.
