Silencer Clearance 1960 Dominator

Can I please ask for some observations on the lean angle clearance on the silencers on my 1960 Dominator 99.

I've recently fitted an RGM folding kickstart, the one with a little more offset that Roger sells, and it cleared the silencer when depressed, but, at the bottom of the kickstart stroke, the long arm from the clamp on the gearbox kickstart shaft fouled on the exhaust, causing it to stick in the downwards position.

To allow for this, I loosened the exhaust lock rings, and lengthened the brackets for the silencers, which attach to the pillion footrests, enough so that the exhaust pipe depressed enough to free the kickstart arm.

This obviously lowered the silencers to the extent shown in the picture I've attached.
Given that the silencers for this year are the "universal" type, which are a parallel tube, rather than the "Peardrop/Cigar" type, I put a spirit level on the top surface, and they're pretty much level.

All's working well, but I'm just concerned about the ground clearance when cornering. I took the photo, then inclined it until the silencer "grounded" when gauged buy the contact patch on the tyre, as shown by the line on the photo.
The angle measured 38 degrees from the vertical. Would this be enough for real world riding?

I have no aspirations to "get my knee down", in fact, if my knee touches the ground, something's gone seriously wrong, but I'd like the reassurance of having enough clearance not to have to think about grounding the silencers. I've looked at many photo's of other Dommies, and there's a lot of variation.

My other option is to have a small bend of around 6 degrees upwards put into the last four inches or so of the exhaust pipe, which gives an inch lift at the silencer mounting bracket, obviously more at the tail end, but I'm just trying to avoid the faff and the potential to crack the chrome when bending, if I don't need to.

I'd appreciate thoughts, if you don't mind
