That being said, I pre-position off to the side of the bike and keep both knees in contact when I start braking. This helps prevent me from rotating around. I can't tell for certain right now sitting in a chair, but I think I get the knee out right around tip in.

I think the aggressive knurling on my footpegs (Driven footpegs on the R6) helps also. On the 300, I switched out the oem pegs for PSR pegs, which were more aggressively knurled. While engaging the leg muscles, the knurling helps resist sliding forward.

Are you going to be at the PTT days this weekend? I'll be there on the R6 trying to whittle down the times.
trying to fanagle my way in, 50/50 chance ill be there.
