A lot of riders favor one side over the other. All I can suggest is just STAY AWAY FROM THE YELLOW LINES!! If you want that truely picture perfect postion get your upper body a little lower and don't kiss the mirror, be the mirror

I'll work on getting my head to the mirrors. Im thinking its going to be easier said than done.

I knew the yellow line was going to come up. The camera person was in the other lane and no traffic.

Im thinking if I want to get my head down I need to be further back on my seat. I think Im right against the tank there. Are you guys against the tank or back on the seat or does it even matter?

You should have ur balls pretty much pressed up against the tank. It helps stabilize the front end

Be weary of the yellow line because it can be slippery.

Not trying to thread jack, but if your balls should be against the tank what is the rest of the seat for? When I'm up close to the tank there is still about half of the seat open behind me. Does that make any sense? Do you never move all the way back on the seat so your ass is touching the padding on the front of the passenger seat?
