With the stock 140/70 rear, you'll start dragging the pegs at the same point where you've truly erased any hint of the "chicken strip". With a 150/70, the pegs drag with about 3/8" of an inch of unused rubber remaining.
No sense in removing the peg feelers because the centerstand, frame and/or exhaust will drag directly thereafter, especially for heavier riders.
As far as the actual lean angle, there is an SAE rating for the bike but I'm going to say between 35-38 degrees for a 160-lb rider, without taking into account hitting a bump or some other event that would significantly reduce cornering clearance.
