  1. OK, I should have qualified this... I'm not hanging off like Jeremy or anything like that. I am nowhere near that level... Just moving my butt to one side of the seat or the other, getting my torso over the tank, and my head near the mirror that's on the inside of the turn. I am going through corners faster doing this, but when I move to the other side, sometimes it's not smooth... most times it is. I cannot figure out why sometimes I mess it up. Maybe I will have to just keep experimenting to figure it out, but I thought I would ask.

    I am fairly smooth most of the time... I just need to figure out this annoying little thing.

    Counter steering is always the key. But when I started riding faster I never felt my body was positioned just right so there would be some odd feel during transition. To smooth this out and make consistent transitions I began to use Jason Pridmore body steering techniques. Weighting the inside peg and pressing my outside knee into the tank as if trying to help the bike turn in. I think this creates an consistant body position to control the bike and not feed any monkey motion into the steering inputs. I pretty much just slide to one side with no thought of putting a knee down. Okay sometimes i think about it. But again, counter steering and trusting you tires is the key. :laugh: laguna.gif
  2. An absolute masterpiece. (insert slow measured clap here). I is the MV Agusta of VFR's. Could you build a better shock res. mount though. That is the only thing that looks less than integrated on the whole project. And that's saying a lot after all the mods are seamless. :thumbsup: :beer: :goofy:
