From the photos I think there is a bit of angulation from your hips in your riding style. Your head often appears to be in a line with the screen, even though you have moved your backside across the saddle. If you are over the edge of the saddle, your back should be in a line forwards, thereby putting your head in the space where the wing mirror used to be. This allows the bike to remain further upright, increasing the contact patch of the tyre and therefore increasing grip.
I can only move from the chest, so I have to shove my head right down into that space in order to corner at the same speeds as able-bodied riders. It helps me massively doing this, then standing the bike upright as soon as possible when getting on the gas, but as an experienced rider you probably already do this.
Other than that, suspension and tyres. Which you seem to be covering.
These are merely observations from the photographs and it looks like you ride well, please take the comments in the manner they are intended. I am far from a perfect rider so I know I still have plenty to learn, which makes riding so much fun.
Cheers.
