For the street bike, I find removing the centerstand & leaning off when
needed works for me. I'm sure you guys know this but I'll say it anyway,
staying on the throttle through turns keeps the frame stressed & thus helps
keep parts from touching down.

The race bike is a different matter
Centerstand & sidestand removed (mandatory for racing)
Reroute exhaust headers & slip-ons
Stiffer suspension front & rear
Shorten footpegs or better yet replace with folding footpegs
