I've got 243 miles on my new 2017 Slim and I haven't scrapped the floorboards yet. What am I doing wrong? LOL!
I'm 170 pounds and the rear shocks are at the factory set preload.
Granted, I don't ride it like I ride my Kawasaki Ninja KRT and I take intersection corners in a slow, wide arc.
I was really worried about scrapping the floorboards all the time from what I've read online, but so far I'm having no issues in everyday riding.

 

I've had my Slim S for a year and have only scrapped once. It sure wakes you up when you do!

 

170 pounds, what, are you 16. do your feet touch the ground when you walk snow flake?

 

Hey! I'm 169. Try curling more than 12oz at at time Freak show

 

You turn a softail with your butt, people that scrape constantly and stab the floorboard mounts are countersteering too much. You have to ride these sleds differently. It helps when you have a healthy BMI also

 

Sparks off the floorboards mean one thing, you're enjoying getting into the curves.

 

I have 5,000 miles on my 16 Slim and I barely scraped the floorboards once.....I think that issue is blown out of proportion.

 

2017 join date, 16 posts, uh huh! I'm not going to goof on you but when ya do figure it out yell at us.

 

I'm just a 53 year-old former Marine who's in pretty good shape for his age.
IOW, my chest is a lot bigger than my waist and not the other way around. LOL!
I am pretty short, I'll give you that.

 

I guess I don't lean as much as others?
