I really don't think I ride all that aggressively. I surely do not push my WG like I do my liter bike on track days or anything... and as far as sag goes. I'm not a big guy by any means, so I cant imagine I am putting a huge stress on the factory set up.
I like the bikes stance as far as looks are concerned. If I do up grade the suspension I do not think Ill change the ride height. Ill just have the pipe welded when the time comes and deal with it. Now I just have to find someone I trust welding that pipe...

Rusty, let me rephrase what I said. You'd have to ride pretty aggressively to scrape the TH. I have scraped riding around my area but I was riding a little faster and sort of trying to scrape. 
I had just done a bunch (of scrapin) at the dragon and well, after awhile you start to feel like if you're not scrapin you're not riding.
Even riding 2 up, it's tough for me to scrape if I'm not trying.
I'm not small. 6'1" 230+ So, I would look at your suspension. Maybe it's set too low.
Also, you have to take into account if your bike is lowered or not.

There's a much simpler/cheaper solution. Just make a skid plate out of some of your old stock heat shield and clamp it in place where it touches down with some hose clamps.When you grind through it, replace it.In a pinch you could even patch up a minor hole with the same method.
