Lowering your forks will speed the steering up a tad but 1" dose sound a bit extreme and will ad to the feeling of wanting to tuck under. Try lowering only a half inch. Moving the bars back will also lesson the feeling of the front wanting to tuck under.

In the real world you should be able to feel the difference when you lower the front 4mm. 7mm is extreme, but an inch.

Take it easy
