Ok, so I rode pillion on it after Joe brought it back to my house (logistical issue) and afterwards I noticed that a small part of the underside of the plate had been rubbed off!
Is this normal? I have an R&G plate holder. I would say that the bottom edge it's about 10cm away from the tire with the bike unloaded. |

I suppose it might not if you don't adjust the back shock. I know it happened on Monkey's bike and he had a smaller plate as well. His basically snapped going over a bump.

We both agreed that the front forks dive a bit too much though. |
