you might want to try what i do and ride with your ass a couple inches to the side so more of your thigh is against the tank. it accomplishes two things, forward stability, and you're set up to turn already. i almost never ride completely centered. too much effort when braking. i can never do the wavey arm braking exercise when im' braking centered up. only when braking off to the side of the seat
