The lower pipe or saddlebags don't impede your ground clearance at all.

seems to be the first hard piece to hit. The bags and pipe aren't even
close. I think it takes a good bump to ground anything, and depending on
which way your leaning it may be the right fairing, the sidestand, or I
think a few people have mentioned hitting the centerstand. But with smooth
riding on smooth pavement, I think you'd run out of traction before you
really hit anything hard.
