feels good to slowly make those peg feelers disappear. And this is with aftermarket shocks!.
dragging parts is fun...

The peg bolt heads are cheap and one member has replaced the pegs with a shorter version. Wouldn't be a trouble to make them up yourself. Nice photo. Is that a Kevlar jacket?

Nice picture.
What kind of after market shocks have you mounted?
I'd say, your suspension is too weak. Look how low your chassis runs and how deep the front fork is deflected.
You could lean more, if you would give more preload to your front springs and your after market shocks.

Nice photo! I have never dragged my pegs on the CB.
I wonder if you hung off more, and let the bike stand up higher if that would help....some knee dragging

The jacket is a 10 year old Joe Rocket, sadly not Kevlar. The rear shocks are ZRX1200 KYBs that were modded by race tech. The front springs are at max preload. I am just tilted over pretty hard and right in a spot where the road starts to level out, plus I am a big ape. New race tech heavy springs are on the way.

Been there
Looks like your headers are very close to sparking....
I just went back and seen where your feelers were sparking, cool pic.....

The narcissist in me would get that picture blown up to life-size and attached to my game room wall!

Yes a good pic.
On the suspension, it looks like your front and rear suspension needs some adjustment (preload/new spring). You either have too little preload dialed in or you need a stronger springs front and rear. In looking at your front, it looks like it is compressed about 2-3"; accounting for preload, you are in the 3-4" range. The front only has a 4.2" working range. You have 4.5" working range in the rear. Your exhaust pipes are close to the ground; not a good thing for street riding.
Put some zip ties on the front fork and push them down against the fork lowers. As you ride, the fork compression will move the zip ties and they will stay the last place there where pushed to. This is the easiest way to verify how much of the rear suspension you are using. You can use a nylon washer to verify the rear shock max working range.
Keep dragging parts, but be safe. Hit a hole/pot hole and it isn't fun anymore.

Yo spacetiger, he's dragging his peg feelers in a very casual way. I think he knows all of that ...LOL. Plus, the suspension does its best work down there. He's probably got a nice trackbike in the garage for those, um, get down rides anyway.
Oh and nice pic.
