Anton,
I'd have to say that your rear shock is pretty much gone! Seriously, I
went riding with my wife on the back of my GTS a couple years ago through
the mountains. The bike was scraping pegs through almost every turn and
THAT was when I decided to get the rear shock rebuilt. I believe that the
rear spring is a little soft for spirited two-up riding and Circuit One
Racing has heavier springs in stock that they could install during a
rebuild. This would certainly take care of your ground clearance problems.

You must be kidding, right?
I was scraping pegs on GTS in very mild turns. I _never_ had to scrape
the pegs on VFR just yet. This is not to make you folk feel bad, but
just to set things straight.
The pegs on GTS are set way low. This is very odd considering the
reach to the stock handlebars. I'm still scratching my head about this
setup.
I once went on a two up ride on a freeway 84 around here.
While going up to the skyline blvd. I run at nighthawk 750 at a stoplight
added to mitigate access to a one lane for cars going in opposite direction
and as we pulled from the light I was gradually losing some ground to the
nighthawk. He was one up,
I was two up. But that's a bad excuse.
I've had gobs of power and traction in reserve but run out of cornering
clearance. Call me a squid but I haven't learned to shift my body weight
in turns to compensate [yet]
Not sure what else could've been done to keep up with that little 750...
Just my $.02

P.S. Of course VFR is not really a two up bike so it's not exactly a fair
comparison clearance-wise
I guess... But nighthawk?
