Practicing in a controlled environment and looking at pictures of yourself in turns will help. Most people are surprised when they see their lean angle and body position on film.
I am the same height as you and I have Fred Flintstone legs and I manage to drag knees on both the Monster and the SBK.
What kind of bike do you have? The non SR series Monsters have limited lean angles which might affect your ability to get your knee close enough.
