It seemed that the footboard dragged before the footboard bracket did in the past. I did the extended reach rider footboard pans (1" forward) and the footboard bracket spacers (3/4" out). Those mods have been on for a while, but my riding style hasn't changed. I guess the footboard going forward has allowed less of the footboard to grind first?
Anyway, when I felt the lever effect from the bracket grinding, I stood the bike up immediately. I was going about 15 around a 90 degree right hand turn. Am looking for ideas on peg feelers that sport bikes have for the unlikely event I get into it that hard again. Maybe there are aftermarket brackets that are more ideal. I did find these: http://www.tallboyscycles.com
Open to constructive suggestions and not so much lectures about riding it a little too hard. Below are some photos showing what was hitting and how little the floorboards were in road contact.
I would mount a feeler off the rear floorboard bracket bolt. Maybe a piece of titanium on a thin enough pieces of steel that it would flex a bit (and not lever you) but still make some noise and some sparks while you're at it.
I did have any luck with the kury ones either matter of fact one of the kury board extenders broke. The fllor board bracket still drags before the boards still with no extenders. 15 limited with 12" shocks

I should add that I have Cyclesmith's Banana Boards. That may factor too.
But I would think the premise makes sense - move out the boards - not brackets.
