But hey if you think a SG is the ticket that's your call & why we all have choices, BTW I like the bike - sharp scoot!!!
Thanks, it was a good bike and it is a Lo. Just did not work for me. I can zoom in on my picture viewer and see the scrape marks, but it won't let me post the zoomed pics here.

I do have pics of the scrape marks on the primary case on my springer and also the scrapes on the shields on my SG, but they are still in my garage so a little easier to get pics.

Like you said, whatever works the best is the bike you should go with. If my back was not messed up I would still have a sport bike in the garage for hitting the mountains. For now the SG will have to do.

The frame will never touch, it's more in-line with the center of the bike. Think of it in terms of a plane. Even though the wings are the same height as the underbelly, they will drag first as the plane rolls to one side and the underbelly will never touch. The further you get off center the less lean angle you'll have. I'd sure like to move my floorboards outwards, but don't want to sacrifice the lean angle. It already sucks as it is.
