Not perfect by any means, but getting better. Such a simple thing, but seemingly so hard to implement. The left arm on the tank and the left shoulder is finally down!

There is a reason you are riding a bit crossed up. Diverman and I had a conversation about this just yesterday. Your chest is turned away from the corner when it should be opened up to the corner. This puts your outside shoulder far enough ahead to force your neck to twist around like a great Horny Owl in order to look through the corner. Your chest should be at a minimum parallel to the bike. We call it "Opening your chest up to the corner".

Try squaring your chest up or better yet, turned into the corner and it will be easier on your neck and allow you to get lower to the inside with your upper body as well as your outside arm elbow on top of the tank. :thumbsup:
 
I just got my head down....I figure a couple more years I'll have my shoulders squared up no problem. Thanks!
