I'm also much better in left turns than right... here's the reason I go with.
when I'm turning right and leaning off the bike, (which I do because its more fun than just sitting up stright. even thou I can I could ride my pace without hanging off) my right wrist is all kinked up. makes it hard to control the gas and just doesn't feel right. now hanging off on the left side, my right hand lines up right and feels normal.
I know its mental, but I also can't find an angle to keep my wrist it where I don't have to think about it when picking up the gas mid corner....
throws my whole shit off.

Yeah, I'd agree with your reasoning there, but i'm scared as HELL about my left knee hitting the reflectors in the road and my shoulder hitting an oncoming car's mirror. Thus why i'm really comfortable with right handers than left... crazy. what i need to do is go up there with joe to hillside and see if i can fix that.

i feel i cant transition my weight from left to the right the correct way and fast enough. my friend took some videos of me yesterday but posted it on facebook. i need to get the original file for me to be able to post it here....

here's my .02
you need to brake deeper and make the turn later, your knee shouldn't be over or anywhere need the yellow line for street riding.
as for the shoulder hitting a mirror, thats carzy man. if a car is coming the other way, you gotta take the corner slower anyways. i don't think anyone in their right mind drags a knee when a car is coming the other way or on blind corners where they could be.
but i do ride a lot different and my ideas about riding seem to be different than anyone elses
