Now that my VT is on superlow springs when I turn at full lock the wheel scrapes on the front plastic guard. Could be the same sort of thing.

There will be a scrape mark where it is touching.

It'll be your plastic inner guard,don't worry it will wear itself away over time and hey presto,noise gone.

just had a look and the spring has some scuff marks where the rubber has touched its worse on the drivers side. Will all springs be the same diameter or do some come out further than others. i was gonna lower it but if its touching with standard height i guess i wont be
