Well first thanks for all the responses.

My current thinking is that: my issues basically stem from the fact that I've basically changed everything, in particular the ridding position (clip ons/rearsets) which as per Mr Gazza's comments put the riders weight forward, coupled with my attempts to quicken the steering (raising the rear/dropping the front). Utopia explains best how I aim to resolve the issue. Thanks particularly Darkness for the interesting links. Fitting ss yolks may seem a radical move, but for me this is relatively simple as I don't have handle bars to mount, and a bonus is that I get a far more attractive top yolk to look at!

Sorry I can't remember where the rear grip issue was discussed, it wasn't very popular anyway as I recall. Basically I've been having occasional slips at the rear, easy enough to correct but not confidence inspiring, has happened on 60mph turns as well as simply turning into sharp tuns from a standstill.
