I'm surprised nobody touch on this before.
Not to judge, but maybe, and I say maybe 'cause I don't have all the facts, but...
Scraping pegs on a Rebel or any other type cruiser tells you may be taking the corner a bit too aggressively. I would say that you might want to consider slowing down and staying within your abilities.

But like others said if you're gonna do it (it happens), stay with it. Don't let off or hit the brakes. Roll the throttle a little to keep you suspension stiff, and you will tke it through to the end.

Sorry if I sound condesending. Just want you to stay safe.
