Yeah, the floorboards and pegs spark when dragging, but nothing like the sparks off these draggers. Definitely want to be careful not to burn anything with them, or worse, start a fire!

Exactly my friend. That was one of my big concerns. Even though a fire may have started not having anything at all to do with the sparks you are throwing off. I am so tired of lawsuits mainly in hopes just to settle even though there is no substance to the lawsuit. Really mind blowing.

Either way my friend I agree 100%.

People will put, unknowingly, two and two together if there is a fire somewhere, and see a bike passing making sparks and blame the bike for starting the fire.

Fortunately I only touch down the floorboards when I want to (and when it's safe) AND I live in the South, where folks are not so lawsuit happy, or worried about other folks having some fun.

Quinn and Q rode over from Grapevine Texas to visit us today. Had a great time talking bikes, roads & more. Great guys out riding their Ultra Limited and Road Glide.

68.0 degrees F in the air conditioned shop, after the bike had been sitting overnight.
