Phil, good point. What do you think, would this simple mod done the trick for you?

Fair points also Dazzor. I think it's clear from their interference in riding that they do probably touch down first when the bike leans over.

Anders, very funny :-)
 
If corner is a bit bumpy and suspension is compressed, I think the original antennas scrape at less than 40 degree lean angle.

I replaced instead of removed for two reasons.
1. Provide some warning and saving boots from accidently touching ground.
2. Saving pegs from scratches, ruining the threads for the antennas. Better to replace the bolt than the whole peg.

Love the chart would have argued without it. I lost one antennas scraper to the road.
 
Dont think I will ever trouble the hero blobs but did used to touch the cylinders down on my
BMW R850R.
