While I’m no race bike canyon carver, I do sometimes scrape pegs or boards on various bikes.

Usually scraping startles and disturbs me. I don’t like it.

However the Heritage has not, in the few times I’ve scraped it in the limited time I’ve owned it. It happens, I note it, and ride on.

I can’t explain it. Hope it goes similarly for you should you switch to forward controls.

Well thanks for the input. I like to hang off my bike quite a lot - maybe the mids + highway pegs will stay on this bike, and i'll have to try forwards sometime in the future.

What scrapes? Is it just the pegs?

This combo with the right seat works for me at 6’ tall.

Yes just the pegs scrape but only when I'm going for it around tight corners like round-abouts, I like the fact they touch first making them the wear point and not the exhaust etc, the 2022 LRS is better for clearance than the 2020 was due to the longer rear shock on the later models

Nice - what mounting hardware did you use your the highway pegs?

With the forwards on the '22+ LRS/T's the air-cleaner (Heavy breather) is a bit annoying as your leg rubs on it and makes the rear brake pedal not so easy to reach, I'm looking into changing mine

That's why I'm going with an Extreme Ventilator on mine. Flows more air than the heavy breather as well. I did fancy a Trask Assault with the groovy clear cover but they stick out quite a long way as well.

What decided me was sitting on a new '24 117 Breakout with forwards and the heavy breather. Whatever I did the side of my knee was against the air cleaner and I always hit it when reaching for the peg.
