Thanks Simon - very interesting facts & figures. That could explain the imbalance as my engine package is slightly heavier than normal (24.5 kg inc rad, battery, fluids) and I'm slightly lighter than normal (nearer 75kg). There's not really anything I can move other than myself in the seat. The rad's mounted on the engine and the engine is as far left as I can mount it as it would fowl the right seat stays if it moved any further left. I could move the battery if I extended the loom, but i'm not convinced that'd be heavy enough to make the difference.
I found a great old post from Ian about mounting the seat, so I'll have a play about and see what difference I can make before making any permanent bends!
