Check out Lee Parks' book "Total Control". It teaches riding techniques that allow you to negotiate curves faster and safer than dragging your floorboards. Dragging floorboards at speed is kinda cool, however not really desirable because you have no more lean angle left in case you have to avoid something midway through the curve. I'm a spirited rider as well and my riding has definately improved by learning the advanced techniques taught in this book. Also check out Keith Code's materials as well. BTW, I have the extensions on my bike and they're not an issue. Ride safe
