Maybe I'm wrong here...but I hang my body WAAAYYY the hell off the side of the bike when I lean into a fast corner. I find that the bike doesn't have to lean over so far if my a$$ is sittin on the very edge of the seat. Look at how Moto GP racers position there bodies when taking a corner.

I know what your sayin devil, but it won't do any good on our harleys since we can only lean so far before we're draggin pegs, pipe, or primary. I feel like I'm very comfortable planted in my seat by the time my pegs are draggin.

I'm not a physics major, but I could swear that I scraped pegs alot more when I used "more bike" and "less body" in my turns. I'll have to study inertia and geometry a little more.

I just kind accelerate out of turns like my dirt bike (minus throwin my leg out), stayin planted for traction keeps me from slidin (which comes along with motor work). If I pull hard in a turn with less pressure on the seat the a** end slides out. Just works better for me.
