Nothing wrong with what you're doing.
I find myself on my RSV Tuono that pushing the outside knee into the tank and pushing the bike into the corner works really well, but my Tuono is set up a lot like a dirt bike, with Renthal Fat bars, and I have fucked knees so it's not so easy for me to get the knee down. I can't be pushing the bike too far over, as there's about 3mm chicken strips on the rear and 1cm at the front and I run a S21 front/T30 evo rear combo and don't ride that slow. It's called a lean-out turn and its the primary technique for turning the bike in a tight circle at slow speeds. It's also the riding style the New Zealand Police utilise for their riding and those guys are not slow.
Hanging off the bike on the road is over-rated anyway. If you truly need to you're going way too fast and you're probably using all the road to do so.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
