After going down my bike seems to have lowered somehow in the front maybe the rear. The reason i know the front is lowered is that i just replaced the upper stay with a new one yet it still hits the master cyclinder. I'm not sure if my triple tree moved up but i measured the bottom of the headlight cowl to the fender and got 7' if someone could help me measure theirs to see if it's the same that would help alot. heres what im talking about: I did it with the wheel straight, but only picture i could find.

 

Did you replace both pieces of your fairing stay? When I got into an accident, I replaced only the upper part, and my master cylinder still hit. After I replaced the lower, it was ok.

 

Dang, didn't even think about that, it looks like such a sturdy piece, but i'll take a look at it tomorrow, thanks for the advice

 

Yeah I thought the same thing. I eyeballed it and it appeared fine, yet still was bent enough to hit the clip-on.
