effects handling
#3
i have to get rid of the heli bars, entering a corner, i am totally on the front and it feels vague. also, im 5'9 and on my tippy toes...but when i sit on a rc51 i am completely flat footed, i think i need to lower the bike

Also for what it's worth, I never felt my heli-bars were causing a lack in front end feel. When I switched to a superbike bar, I did notice that I have to actively get over the front end hard when on the throttle though, to keep it from running wide.

I have helis and notice a huge difference when I mount them under rather than over the triple.
Over is a VFR... under is a CBR.
Lots of other mods have helped; you should say what you have on you bike (stock forks, shock, etc). You need fork springs, thicker oil, and a shock spacer. It will be like a new bike.

i will set the sag this weekend, been meaning to do this for a while... 8541hawk do u mean put the front 5mm down so the front is lower than the rear? if anybody would be like to be so kind to measure stock height of the front it would be greatly appreciated. i have racetech springs and valves and FG gubellini rear shock setup up for a 170lbs even though im only 145lbs. i bought the bike this yr. so im trying to chase settings. also, i need to change the fork oil...not sure when it was last service. smokinjoe maybe ill try your setup with the heli under the triple tree ...ill let u know how i make out
