johnny what exactly are you scarpping? by the looks of your ride I wouldn't think you wouldscrap anything? You must be laying it down around the corners. I wish I was that confident that my tires wouldn't come sliding out from under me

 

Right now it just on the left side and its the kick stand. I'm really not laying it down, although before this bike I have been riding sportbikes for about 17 years. But even so I think I have adapted my riding pretty well

 

Yeah, the kickstandwill be the first thing, followed soon by the primary. Luckily it's low enough that nobody notices the scrape under there on mine. Sounds like us former-sportbikers have a bit more of a tendency to explore the leanability. :-)

 

Mine's lowered with afactory lowering kit both front and rear I have Samson BG3 Street Sweepers, which turn out a little, and I've scraped them a couple of times. i think thatis the "turn out" is the issue and i i had straight pipes, like cannons or slashers, it wouldn't hit.

what the hell, it's only a set of pipes... just like girls... when they get bent out of shape, just go get a new one!

 

Has anyone ever "levered" their rear tire off the ground in a corner that they entered alittle too "hot".

 

sereral time I have slid the lower corner of the primary taking a hard left and had to get rid of the D&D fatcats because they were the worst designed part ever for a softail did nothing but drag and couldnt force a right if i needed to so went back with the streetsweepers wich are better but it more likely to happen takinga left do to the primary wont bend and the pipes will. It gets shaky when leaning hard into a left. thats part of the reason I got an old ironhead to have fun with.
