Is this the right place to ask about riding techniques for my C14?

I agree with everything SOP just said, also remember that your own confidence is your best friend, keep practicing and in time you will develop your own skill , just my two cents. good luck

You can scrape pegs, and other hard parts, if you want to but on this big girl it's better to use your body position and get set up for corners with a bit of trail braking. At least that's what I do.

Scraping stuff is dramatic but that doesn't mean that you're getting around the corner using the best form or making the quickest turn.

^^^^^that

Another +1 for body positioning.  I have found that it is almost impossible to touch hard parts except in very tight (like 10-20 mph posted) corners when I use a good "down and in" technique.  I don't hang off my bike or anything but I will "schooch a cheek" just a little bit while I drop my inside elbow and get my shoulders as far over as possible without breaking my grip.  I have knee pucks on my leathers but have yet to even want to touch them.  Maybe at a track day.........
