I'm not sure what bar you have on the front, but I would try a bigger bar on the front and connect your rear bar. This should help keep the balance and gain roll stiffness in the corner, but keep some of your compliance. Obviously, I don't know your exact specs or if you have these options, just a suggestion. Penny is looking really good!
Im worried that lessing the roll will lessen compliance and grip.. this stuff is COMPLICATED!!!
