Bryce, I removed those long feelers a long time ago and since then scrape
the holes were the pegs once were. (see photo link). I've never touched the
stand or pipe, just the nubs, my boots and right fairing lower-(soft part)

And yes I know that left boot is that way due to bad foot position (old
lower leg injury -:)
I'm on my third pair of riding boots in three years. The 3rd pair will last
as I no longer have to ride the Sprint on the track.

PS. it also helps to screw your front preload way in, stiffen up the rear
spring and rebound, late apex and never drop the throttle, mid turn.
