I agree if you're leaning that much, time to take the centerstand off, tape the glass, safety wire the appropriate bolts and caps and take it to the track.
You got it!

Damn, my peg feelers got removed during the first track day I did because they'd touch, but you have to be doing some seriously wicked riding to touch you center stand or have your suspension adjustments out of whack as VT said.

At least from what I can tell.

Another Viffer rider (6th gen) was scrapping the bottom back part of his muffler pipe under the bike and he wasn't close to his stand if memory serves.
