Yes exactly, thanks. And yes, "lean angle gauge" is a good description. That supermoto track at VIR has a horrible uphill way-off-camber left turn, and the lean angle gauge really helps keep me from overdoing it and sliding out.
As far as body position, I'm not sure the only thing that's making me more comfortable is the less-leaning motorcycle. There seems to be something in my head that likes the position better. Maybe it's a visual thing, with a clearer view of the plane of the road in my peripheral vision. In any case, I'm amazed when I see someone taking corners well, but staying in line with the centerline of the bike.
