dragging floor boards

Is their anything you can do to a heritage to keep from dragging the floorboards? I have had the bike a week now and already have noticeable wear to both floorboards.
i can take a curve at a slow to moderate speed and it will drag every time.
my yearly trip to the mountains is going to be rough keeping up with the other guys. I dont know how to tell if its been lowered but I dont believe it has.

two things you can do, not lean so hard or install pegs. Bike could be too low thats possable.

Get or make some skids for the bottom of the boards. I use angle iron of Ti. Better to grind the skids and replace those instead of the boards. Rolling on a 04 RG FLTRi.

I've been dragging the boards on my '11 Heritage since day one, no mods to suspension. I'll just keep draggin' 'em...then I'll have to get some new Banana boards!
