Just one more
I think everyone's got a tight (er) and a loose (er) side. Even when I was a keen proto-racer in UK as a teenager, I always looked over my left shoulder even though traffic drove on the left and the overtakers were on my right. Might be worth thinking about which is your happy side - bound to be one. Doesn't change much, I've found, after 40 years.
Other thing, about stability - shifting your hands closer to the middle, closer to the stem, when you look round will reduce leverage wobbles
Enjoy, stay safe
