Found this http://www.rideforever.co.nz/ride_smart/control_cornering.html while flicking through the net. I've only read a little of it, but hey it's NZ based, offers help in a number of areas so hopefully it's relevant to some out there.
Liked the bit about judging your max lean angle by leaning until your footpeg or foot touches the road. Obviously done in the right conditions!!
Apply yourself. Learn to judge the available bank angle of your bike by increasing it until either the footrest or the outer edge of your boot toe touch the road. Only try this when the road surface is grippy and tyres warm and in good condition.
Sorry if its a re-post.
