My Fazer is jacked up at the rear with aftermarket dogbones and I have the yokes 10mm down on the forks, it steers much better than stock. I might add that I recently tried dropping the yokes to 15mm down and it steered even better, but at a price. I had Road Attack 2s fitted and they seemed to have the stability to cope with the quicker steering which was good, but after I changed to Pilot Road 2s the stability went to pot, especially under heavy braking where the front would twitch and squirm so much I even replaced the front wheel bearings and re-set the head bearings because I thought they where at fault, but it was the change in tyres. With the yokes set back to 10mm all is well again, but when I go back to Road Attack 2s I might drop them to 15mm.
I did play with tyre pressures a little bit, 'tried from 34-40psi on the front but no difference, I did note (what I already know) that front RA2s have to be run at the correct pressures to work well (36psi)
I have a Wilbers shock too, no complaints really, but I found the high speed comp damping needed to be backed off a bit, but that improved comfort more than anything else.
