Shifting your rear is only one way to shift your weight......and it doesn't take much.

If you look at the picture, and draw a line up the center of the rear tire, I think it would come pretty close to your LEFT shoulder; it should come closer to your RIGHT shoulder in a tight left turn. Just that difference in upper body lean will make a BIG difference; anticipating the curve and shifting your tush on the seat just a bit will help even more.

The peg position on the GZ pretty much precludes dragging your inside knee.......and that's probably a good thing !!
