ive been through this also!
I am quite tall and having the bars forward helps a lot with room on the bike. If you are having trouble steering, re-check your rear sag! it sounds weird, but if you low in the rear it will never turn (unless you are RC- a marcus quote there!:)). Look for a race setting of around 95-100mm, and the free sag should be about 15-20mm if your spring rates are correct. Give that a try, if you want more steering still, then try moving the forks up in the triple clamps about 5mm. this will make it steer better also, you will know when you have gone too far since it will head shake done the straights.
If nither of those work, then you might have to make adjustyments with the spring rates and damping on the front...very easy.
dont be affrain to play with them clickers, record a baseline setting and have fun, sometimes it pays to set it wrong just so you know what it shouldnt feel like.
but rmember, get the bars where it is comfortable, you will never be able to steer properly with the bars touching your knees.
good luck
ps. go to yourCP and put up your flag!:)
