I've had pegs down on numerous occasions on my old GN (as have many other Gn riders i know) and Kiwifruit has even had kneedown (video proof somethwhere). I think your front end worries are due to the stock death-in-a-rubber-disguise front tyre.

The stock front tyre on the GN will make the bike fall if you push it and in the wet will be lethal. This problem is easily solved by a Pirelli City Demon front tyre which will put you back just over $100. and lets face it, if you're sliding the front you are either pushing WAY too hard or doing something ridiculously stupid (see previous post i made).

^pushing it MAYBE.....but......ummm squiggles doing something ridiculously stupid?!?!?!?! MAYBE IF HELL FREEZES OVER!!!

he's the voice in my head that says "haha you're riding a honda and you're black so the risk of you crashing while taking this corner at this speed is X so slow down"

EDIT: he's also the voice in my head telling me to buy a two-smoker and take it to the track

My GN will wear stock tires the day i turn gay.

I'm not talking about pushing it at all, leaning it, whatever, you're more likely to hook a peg than anything else scraping them on the gn. Its just silly to measure riding by scraping pegs.

I'm talking about front tuck under heavy braking...
To me they tuck alot quicker than others, suspect it'll be related to the steering geometry, as well as the spongy forks. Both of mine have done it, as did Banzai's. Can be rather violent going from a grippy surface to a smooth one.
