Easing up on the lean by not steering so deep or "lifting" toe or foot is a reaction that needs to be resolved over time. One way is to also learn to "counter lean" or "hang off" the center line of the bike slightly...that is the conscious riding style racers used to compensate for low ground clearance or ill handling bike. On a cruiser type bike, counter leaning is much easier to do than hanging off, due to the laid back position of the rider and inability to weight the pegs much with feet in the foward position away from the center of gravity.
In other words, old school of thought to make a turn fast was to sit up straight over the bike and lean into the turn, carefully exploring the limits and learn to drag the bike in turns, just not heavy enough to unsettle the chassis. It was dirt track riders that found they could explore the limits of cornering by standing the bike up and throttle steer the bike to slide the rear around, while weighting the inside of the bike in the turn.
Applying outward pressure on the outside peg...and standing to the inside a bit saves 10 to 15 degrees of bank angle, and gaining just enough precious ground clearance so hard parts would not lever the bike up when hard parts hit and toss the bike and rider into the weeds. It was Kenny Roberts who started road racing with knee down and duct tape for pucks to protect his leathers that made the riding "style" famous. Not saying to ride totally this way, but you can compensate for low ground clearance by using a bit better rider techniques, ride comfortably within your skill set without trying to be a "hero on a race track" can improve how we handle what we call day to day routine.
