If the rear brake does not work for you, then modulate the speed with the clutch, trying to keep the throttle open in a steady manner.
The idea is to concentrate in one control only, while you dramatically turn your head, look far, relax your arms and sense balance with your body.
The reason to use the rear brake as only modulating control is that the foot is independent from steering, which can mess the finesse of throttle and clutch control inputs.
Also because it has the braking effect that clutch and throtle combination lacks.
