Even though it was too soft and not very well dampened, it was probably better balanced as it was.

Correcting the front has upset the balance, and has made the cycle sit and turn differently. Most likely it's sagging in the rear more than the front, so you are getting a "chopper" effect that is causing the lack of confidence (and more rear weight bias) during cornering.

Do some research and get a good shock on the rear. IIRC you may want one that is slightly longer than stock to lift the rear slightly.
