Good morning, I also have the AltRider skid plate on my bike. I have a 2010 GSA and use most of my tire in the twisties (read: not much of chicken strip - measured 2-3mm). What model do you ride? Tire and suspension settings? Any pictures of where the plate is dragging/hitting? Thanks

Does your bike have a lowered suspension? The first thing to hit the ground on the stock suspension is typically the center stand when leaning right.
