Ah ... it was the Kijima bars— http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3172
Yes, that's my concern. Well, I'll go for a couple of rides and see. I don't mind adjusting my style a bit, I have the OEM peg feelers back on now. If they start to touch a little I can bump up the preload or just ease off. It's just that those bars are not going to have any "give". I'm pretty sure I have nothing to worry about but I'll take it really easy for a while. Thx for that tip.
I found this post by member Todd_K:

[url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3172&pid=45805#pid45805]For reference, the OEM OS bars have about 2.5" (6.3cm) clearance from my unscraped peg feelers. This was scientifically determined by finding taking the least warped piece of lumber in the garage and setting it level with the peg feeler.

Thanks for the heads-up, I used a broomstick with the bike up on front/rear paddock stands but it's very hard to tell just what the angle is. I got the impression it was going to be within the stock peg feeler's warning range, though.
