Rearsets - What scrapes first?

Have been thinking about a set of rearsets to get me some more ground clearance but wanted to see if they will still drag first when leaned over, or if after they are installed the stock exhaust will now touch down first. Anyone have experience with this?

I don't know about stock exhaust since mine is long gone, but I think you'll touch pegs first. Any of the upswept aftermarket mufflers (D&Ds, Predators, Bubs, etc) will not touch. You will touch your headers down before those mufflers.

I dont run stock exhaust (have Preds) and I'll scrape the outer edges of my boots even if they're pulled to the tippy toes on the pegs - but never a pipe. Oh yeah, the kickstand will drag too.
