I agree with Erik and David. I think it's the preload that's not dialed in
right. I don't think I would have gotten the rash if I just stiffened her up
a bit more. I'll do some minor touch up work on the belly and do some more
testing with the preload in the back.

>I have the same marks on my right lower. Under normal riding conditions,
the peg will scrape first. When two-up, without compensating the rear
suspension with additional preaload, and taking a bumpy turn with dips, the
fairing will hit well before the peg scrapes!!!!!!
