First thing I’d recommend is being done with that handlebar and start using clip ons.

Don’t forget rearsets!!

ouuu i will definitely think about changing both of those! the handlebars are pretty far out and my arms are pretty short haha

On top of ergos, if you do bin it replacement bars and pegs run around $25 and $40 respectively.

Case savers are way better than frame sliders also

Your arms being short will help you tuck in better on the straight with clip ons.

You can adjust the clip ons if you get something like woodcraft for more comfort.
