Regarding 'on road racing' I can add an example of the big mud guard by Touratech. Maybe you can get an imagination of the ground clearance even with a wide bash plate.



Right around with water pump protection, the first thing which hits the ground will be your foot or footpeg.



Just an other picture to show how big the TT bash plate is.



Left around the OEM center stand hits the ground first. I don't like something like that.

Nevertheless that black mud guard shown first looks very nice. Only to use the original M6 mounting points may be a disadvantage. Separate brackets fit directly to the frame could be a more reliable solution.
