Results:
I lengthened both the steering springs to try and make the bike a little less 
responsive and it worked to a certain degree. When the bike is riden hard it is 
slightly easier to control. However, get it out of shape and it is still dificult
to get back on the straight and narrow

Conclusions:

I would say that there is currently only a handfull of drivers in the country, who
would benefit from this chassis. For the majority of people it will make things worse
It would be interesting to compare my laptimes with a standard (easy to ride) bike
I would imagine they would be a bit quicker or at the very least more consistant.
