Touch Down... Rear brake lever

My old hexhead ('05 not lowered) would do that with the suspension run at the recommended settings, usually if there was a bit of a dip/bump in the bend.

Wack the rear preload up to at least 3/4 (1/4 off max) for solo and all the way two up and +1/4 - 1/2 a turn on the damping. The bike will also turn in better and generally just feel nicer.

Later on I fitted decent shocks that were sprung for my weight and never got anywhere near touching anything down :)

My wife had a lowered gs 1200 and had trouble with foot pegs grounding out ended up swapping suspension to Wilber's and never had trouble with it again ..
 
Mine's not lowered, and I'm not a riding God, but the brake pedal looks the same as the OP's photo.
