    Start by moving your butt back onto the seat about 3" and get your chest closer to the tank, that will allow you to rotate your chest into the turn a little more and give you more confidence and get lower.
    Advice well received. That was my first ride with the pegs in that position (Vortex rearsets). Gotta fiddle with them a bit more until I can get them in a spot where I feel my weight is supported. The bike definitely handles better with my weight farther back, but at higher speeds I can't seem to keep weight on the pegs and have to hang onto the bars like a monkey in the wind.

    • Definitely looks better, but tough to say turning two different directions. I know I'm much more comfortable hanging off on right handers.

        Both of those pics were from a few weeks ago.

          Ahh that makes way more sense, now I just sound silly. I was thinking in the first photo you had your head and upper-half a bit more upright, and less committed. At least that's how I'm justifying it so I feel less stupid

            Nope still alive. Just riding a KTM Super Duke GT and an MV Agusta Brutale 1000RR now.

            If flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground and missing, steering an inline two-wheeled vehicle is the art of crashing and failing.
