I appreciate the maths on what you are saying and understand how you are hoping the weight bias coupled with your geometry changes will help but I am still struggling somewhat to come to terms with the fact you don't have enough rear grip.

I have known some very fast road riders on Monster's over the years who haven't had anything like the issues you are describing, especially as you say it happens in slow as well as fastish (60mph) corners- it's like something isn't right somewhere else to me.

I can understand how clip-ons transfer some body weight forward but unless (without being rude) you weigh a lot even then it shouldn't be happening to the extreme and by the same token there was a chap (Doug DRC) who weighed next to nothing on a 1000DS Monster and he never had issues either before or after fitting clip-ons.
