Handling setups

[Fazer Jake]

How do you set your bike up for handling?

i've jacked the rear up 25mm and dropped the front forks by about 2cm it feels front heavy but i like it turning in quicker any negatives having it setup this way

I have dropped the forks through the yokes by 21mm (any more and I risk hitting the wheel on the headers if i need to do 'extreme braking'), and fitted 120/70 front tyre, with a 160/60 rear, I have also fitted lower bars which are 2cm wider than the standard ones. This set up, along with carefully set up ( re sprung etc) forks, seems to work perfectly for me

There's a very recent thread on here with a few people saying that the 120 front tyre makes the steering misbehave on bends?
