Hi all, I am very new at this adventure riding and would like some advice. I am not new to riding but never longer than an hour or so. So here's my deal a few weeks ago I purchased a 2016 es from Glen Burnie Motorsports. I am 60 years old about 6ft. 180 lbs. and a 32 in. inseam. After taking it out for a ride I new very quickly I would need upgrades. I was reaching for the bars, my butt hurt, and my head was buffeting all over the place. I went to cycle gear and purchased a gel seat pad which helped a little. The next week I ordered Rox risers from Jaxson and a windshield from madstad. I installed the risers (I know how anyone installs these without extending everything even flipping the throttle over) which was real hard for me with the bike at 150 miles. Then the windshield came the next day with their mounts and I installed that. So now with all of that said it still doesn't feel right and my helmet is still bouncing my little brain around. Any suggestions for setup of these items so I can better enjoy my rides would be greatly appreciated.
