Read up on vanishing points and judge your speed right.
Light rear braking will slow you without washing out like the front. Locking the front gets really exciting and even braking on it straightens up your line sooo much.
Main thing is look where you want to go NOT where you think you are going or where you are trying to avoid. If you look where you want to go you will automatically make the required adjustments and the bike will auto-magically head that way, scraping what it needs to bet you were no where near the maximum lean angle - the bike will out perform you so use it, you can change your undies when you get home.
