I don't see how rubbing parts against the ground is a negative concequence, it is a consequence of riding a motorcycle, but it's not a negative one. It seems to me that even the guys that raise there bikes to get more aggressive turning ability still rub bike parts. Yes, raising, lowering or leaving your bike stock, via shocks or body weight does change the ground clearance and lean angle, but either way the rider has to learn his or her limits/consequences of using the setup, lower your bike you'll lean less to rub, raise your bike you'll lean more to rub. The guys that race supermoto can lean damn near on the fairing of the bike and rub the bike and body parts on the ground without any "negative" consequences. If you don't want to damage/wear and tear your bike parts then don't ride so hard, take it nice and easy and avoid the consequences of riding hard (or pushing your limits). Pretty much it's only a "negative consequence" if your not expecting it to happen or are worried about the effect of what the change or non-change caused. A negative consequence to me would be something unexpected and caused a crash or death, not a little rubbing here and there.
