You need to adjust that seat. It should slope down in the rear, not in the front. You want the seat to slightly force you "back" into the saddle...not move you forward. When position correctly, you'll be sitting on your bum, not sliding forward onto your groin. Plus, you won't have so much weight moving forward on the bars, or constantly having to hold your weight back on the seat (causing arm strain). Once you get yourself position correctly on the bike, moving your weight off the front, it will feel more balanced and handling will improve immensely.
That second picture looks like it could have been taken anywhere in northern Michigan.
I'll play, 2006 S60R. Never thought I'd be the Volvo kinda guy but once I drove a stock one, I couldn't stay away. This one has a full stage 3 Tune, runs 16lbs of boost in Comfort and Sport and 22lbs in Advanced. When it was tuned I got 408 to the wheels. I keep wanting to do something to the outside of the car to refresh it but I love the sleeper just a little too much.
HATE the non adjustable headrests and headlights though. And I wish it had a more RWD or 50/50 bias with the AWD system.
LOVE my 04 S60R! Test drove the evo, 335i and S4 first. Gotta admit, the V8 in the 07 S4 was better, but the Volvo was less than half the price without the scary timing belt issue so I pulled the trigger. It's all snow here in Anchorage now and the AWD is doing great. Was curious how the angle gear in yours will hold up to Stage 3 power though.

It doesn't I have had to replace my angel gear twice. It's great when a new one is in the car. I have the only one I know of that will break loose all 4 wheels. First one broke right at 75,000 the second one broke at 140,000. I'm at 172,000 now. Next time one breaks I am going all in for a actual racing replacement if my family in the UK or Germany can grab one for me.
