Yes, this is the answer I was looking for. Simple but effective. IF you need to add brakes mid corner for an emergency situation then the best way to do so is to get the bike the most vertical as possible before adding the brakes and this is done by coming off the gas while pushing the outside clip on/bar to effectively countersteer the bike back up. You will run wide which is why it is not an idea thing to do but if you came flying around a corner only to encounter a 3 car pile up and had to get on the brake to avoid hitting them then your best option would be to steer the bike upright and get on the brakes.
