Thanks LittlePixel.
I thought the same about the sit-up and beg handlebar height/stem angle. Luckily with the mods the F200 comes equipped with a 1 1/8 quill and a 120mm Syncros Stem - the bars are currently around 90cms (possible lower) from the ground. This provides extra reach, a lower profile and should make the front end less twitchy. Will have to see how it handles tonight.
May take a pic tomorrow if I stop riding...
