I ride my 2015 Ultra Limited Low 2-up without any problems cornering or bottoming out. Just make sure your rear shocks are adjusted for your combined weight. For what it's worth, I have a 32 inch inseam. Some of us like knuckle draggers.
Nothin' but smiles with this ride!

I am 5'3" and own a limited low.
And i second your coment, I ride sólo and 2up. And no dragging if I adjust the suspension right before any ride i go cruising.
But, if I am riding a little bit faster than normal (normal been the speed limit). Or if I challenge a corner too tight.
I then often drag the floorboards and I have to also use body positioning to compensate.
I am not complaining of my ultra low as it is a different bike and handles as I suppose to. But I can tell the difference of this bike and my street glide in terms of clearance.
Love both bikes.
The first 20 seconds of this video shows me and wife dragging floorboards on a group ride.

Seemed like a pretty mild turn to be dragging.

Agreed, sounds like he's got aftermarket exhaust, I'd guess the clamp on the cross over pipe is dragging. It did on my Rineharts till I trimmed it.
I had my '11 RGU lowered 1" in the rear and close to 2" in the front. I run as hard as anyone I ride with and never had issues dragging the boards.

I just put the "low" seat on my 2014 Ultra Limited. I noticed the change in CoG and just the overall feel of the bike. Also feel the bumps a lot more !

We ride pretty aggressively wife drags her floor board occasionally when going way faster in the corner then the speed should be, I removed those floor board tabs those were dragging little bit too much and that's another 1/2 " of clearance at least. After few long rides and few thousands miles bike feels lot better then when new.
