#5I guess the first thing that touches the ground would be the std pegs. I am not sure as i 've only rode on the Rizomas. The std pegs though are positioned really low.
I've also seen that the clutch cover touches down quite easily, but then again i 've only had the aftermarket one right from the start.
In my SDR, with the aftermarket clutch cover and the Rizoma rearsets on, I only get to scrape the pegs and unforunately that happens quite often when i push hard on track. Changing the suspension from street to race track settings helped but was not enough.

#6I have scraped the pegs, clutch cover and nicked the front of the lower cowling now that I am getting very comfortable with the cornering ability. I have some Vortex rear sets coming next week and will see how that help. Usually I scrape my boot, then pegs and then whatever else but wasn't to happy with scraping the clutch cover. Got a feeling those babies are pricey!
This bike will go WAAAAY over and still have tyre left. I weigh 205 lbs (about 14.5 stone or 93 kilos) plus gear. No probs with the suspension thus far on my '08 SD.

#10PP Rearsets, sidestand, standard clutch cover and exhaust grounded.
After sidestand deinstall, and some work on the suspension setup no problems. (exept the skidmarx belly pan)
