Lemme know if you can't take the scraping problem and I'll try and give you some of my stuff that has worked magnificently. A bike should corner like a bike,not a tricycle.

You can darkside the rear wheel if you wish, double dark if you put a rear MT on the front, but that's more for longevity.
I'm told the rear shock shafts can be adjusted for a little more lift: I just didnt' need it - I thought.
I put Ricor Intiminators in the forks to eliminate diving, which is worth some height where you need it; I did successfully put 1" PVC slugs over the springs to keep the head up before now. I have 2" extended forks and tins: best mod of all for a Herry. Thicker fork oil adds compression, but makes the ride harsh.
I just did notice today that my lower heat shield has some scraping on the bottom, but I can live with that if it doesn't get worse.

No they're not. Universal Tire (also on Fleabay) has the 175/75/16 taxi tires. Depending on the year of your bike, you may or may not be able to fit wider than a 175 in, but that's a nice grippy tire and wide enough.
I always suggest you do some reading before going dark and learn about finding your sweet spot, mounting (I do my own with 2 HF tire spoons and a 2x4), and the minor handling difference that just disappears after about 100 miles - like riding a different bike, only with real traction. Your traction limitation will be your front tire. I use Shinko 777's because they stick like glue and let me hit the boards wet or dry. Expect to probably need around 34-36 lbs. air; don't go by the manufacturor's pressures, as we need the sidewall to flex and keep a lot of the tread down on the road.

Look to see what others with your bike are running:

I just got Patriot Defenders and love the cable and lollypop control - the muffler is a giant glasspack and sounds awesome at 1/2 gate, gets more torque and HP than my SEII's. Fleabay, $195.
Some might not like the golden coloration of the stainless exhaust, but the heat shields are chrome and cover the header pipes. Welds are perfect, fitment had to force a little for the rear pipe, but worth it, and no one else hadthe same problem. Nice dyno numbers on it.

I still corner hard, but I'm 2 over in front and darksided in back, so it doesn't hit before the boards. ORMV.
