I may have snookered myself yesterday when I lowered my air pressure and got a desireable result. I bumped up the preload on the rear at the same time (changed 2 factors at once, unable to determine which dominated). After going back up, 42psi front and 44psi rear, I notice that my steering hasn't gone away. The preload change must have help offset the attitude change that the bike experienced due to the difference in tire profile. When I get back home, I am going to raise the forks in the clamps and see if things lighten up even more.
