whats the stock kz frame height? from bottom of tubing where the kick stand is, on a level bike, (off kick stand). do the pipes ever scrape when riding in corners?

Scraped a Kerker a few time,caught a few foot pegs.
Wouldn't that depend on which bike, pipes, ride height with rider and maybe tire sizes.

I've drug my V&H but that was with my bike lowered all the way. When I drop it all the way down I have about 1/2" between the tire and ducktail. I run struts though so don't worry about the tire rubbing.

well i am modifying my bike with modern suspension and i am about 5'5" tall. i need to make sure i get the bike down far enough, but not too much. Larry had mentioned 8" from the bottom of the frame to the ground, i just wanted to see what others were doing.:) :)
