nothing like reviving an old post

I have been trying to work on looking through the turns as well. But not sure that is my problem or combination of things. I am pretty good at seeing my line through a turn and hitting the apex (based on entire lane) and accelerating through. My problem is that i only ride on the street and the issue is more with left handers because of increased danger (on coming traffic) as it is almost muscle memory at this point to kiss the apex. I have done it for years in my cars. But on a bike hitting the apex of a left hander finds me dancing close to the double yellow a lot which would be fine if there was not traffic the other way coming at me but there is.
I guess i just kind of get sucked into the apex of the turn based on the double yellow or even single white line on inside of a righty because i find it hard to to create an imaginary apex that is based more in the middle of the lane which would keep me further away from the other on coming lane of traffic.

does this make sense?
