Of course, you can adjust the rear preload.

I had a similar experience after doing the race tech mods to my forks. The front end really highlighted the shortcomings of the rear. My solution was to fit a Thunderbird Sport rear shock - a used stock item (thanks to Slinky). This made as much improvement as doing the front end did! the bike is now beautifully balanced and of course adjustable.

The only downside is that the shock raises the rear of the bike an inch or three and the center-stand was rendered useless without the use of a plank of wood under it. This will soon be rectified (probably by fitting a TBS center stand).
