thanks for the good info guys. i do tend to partially hang a buttcheek over in tighter turns, so that could definitely be a reason i still have some strips on the sides. i practiced some low speed u-turns, figure 8's, offset weaves, etc today and made them strips a little narrower. but i did manage to scrape my shoe that was below the shifter, that kinda sucks when it takes you by surprise!
at the very least, i like to know my bike's limit in case a hazard ever presents itself that requires a full lean maneuver. that said, i'm pretty sure i don't need to go much faster than i already do down the twisty country roads.
