Bad luck, the basket for my Africa twin was quoted as about £300 new. Out came the file. The grooves in the tangs are quite easy to gently remove. It's more easing the step than trying to file the whole thing flat, which would be very difficult. Did mine at 60,000 miles and it's still smooth on pull away at 96,000. Make sure you give it a good wash before putting it back in, to prevent swarf getting into the engine. Also try and get a new centre nut(cheap) before you put it back together as they are a one use item.
