Geometry changes

In my quest to make the Busa a Motogp beast I have attained a state of suspension butteryness lol. After many suspension revalves over the years finally got the right balance for speed, comfort, and full on track duty. All in the same setting. Decided to measure the geometry to my final settings. Rake in the front is down to 19 degrees, rear swing arm is up to 11 degrees. That along with some insane suspension tunning has got the bike in a state of suspension butteryness. It's like a Cadillac had a baby with a muscle car. It's hard to describe with words. Cadi smoothness on the road over bumps, but track level handling at the same time. I always said it could be done, track and comfort should be the same setting. Took me a ton of cash and experimentation to get here but finally made it. Next I'll be getting Penske to build me a gas cartridge front to smooth out the last of the front end resolution. Shoudl be ready in a few months. Who says Busas can't corner lol. 19 degrees of rake and she turns in faster than a 600.

I'm looking to overhaul my suspension as well. Can you tell me what mods you did. And also how it affects your top end stability?
Hi. For what I am doing new upper and lower trees with 1 inch + rake. 12 over swingarm and moved its pivot point up 12mm with a Penske shock for the rear with a Ti spring. Front stock with 2 inch lowered new springs set for my weight.
