I'm also wondering where your upper body is during those curves. Nick goes over this in the book, but practice dropping your inside shoulder a little to get your body leaning into the curve. Make sure you're not fighting the bike by leaning out. You can use your knees too, pushing in with the outside knee.

I once did pretty much the entire Blue Ridge Parkway with only body steering (no steering inputs other than body positioning). Amazing fun and a shock and awe effect on the Harley rider behind me, because some of what I was doing was very exaggerated. This was on a K1100RS, after all.
