Brilliant pictures Roger, thanks for posting.As you know I’m particularly interested as I’m considering a similar build. I’m a similar height to you, although you seem to have done a better job of keeping at ‘racing weight’ than me ...Race leathers with armoured knees and elbows and knee sliders do add considerable bulk to a rider in those areas, so I reckon ‘cosy at best’ is about right!If you move the seat back I suspect the footrests position will then require looking at.Before moving the seat back and taking an angle grinder to the fairing (and screen), I’d consider the possibility of moving the entire fairing forward, and perhaps using some extended forward mounted clip ons, that way you’d get more room without exacerbating the footrests position issue AND keep the weight forward.
