Lo Bro's,

If you ain't scraping your boards at the least then you ain't ridding! I know there are more flat straight roads in the states than where I'm at right now but dang I even scraped my last bike when I was in the states and it was not this low.

RedNose44, If you replace your shield you will end up scraping again like right after you spend the money. Just see it as a badge of "I know how to ride my damn bike"! I love leaning in turns and eurpoe is great for that as it is like all turns. The retired AF dude out here that sells Harleys for the Exchange has like 10+ bikes and his Bones has scrape marks on the primary! This dude is crazy but he can ride hard and has been out here for years.

I'm gonna have to replace my floor boards around 10,000 mi I think.
Not bad for the riding....


[/quote]RedNose44Anyone scrape (sp) their pipes on their Lo's. I scrape my boards all the time, but I was doing a tight turn yesterday two up and scraped the rear part of the heat shield on my V&H pipes. Did not think it was possible, but now I need some new shields.

BTW: Some good looking bikes still popping up in this thread... [/quote]

 

1RevtekLo, tell me about your highway bars? Where did you get them?

 

From what I can see there kuryakyn mark IV there great, have a set and love them

 

Which horn is this you have installed? I like it a lot!

 

Hi all, first post. Trying to add pic of my 2012 Fatboy lo.
My first Harley. Owned her for about 2 months. In that time I've managed to acquire V&H slip ons, Stage 1 Filter, got caught with the se tuner, which isn't what I thought it would be, (didn't do my homework). re-profiled the seat coz I'm 6'3" and the stock seat was pushing me way too far forward, only realised after borrowing the new softail slim for a couple of days which was really comfortable, and incidentally handled way better than the fatboy.
Just put on the hand beaten fenderbib that I sprayed last night. Not sure if I like it yet.........

So hi all, hope this picture attachment works, not too good with technology.

 

I scrape the boards all the time (they are pretty worn down on the outside actually) and sometimes the mounts. This is the first time I have scraped the pipes though. I did not know until the guy that was riding behind me told me. Got off the bike and sure enough the shield on the botton pipe is scraped up. I hear you on the shocks. The bike is stock height now and I am going to get some 422's with adjustable preload. Was planning on doing this anyways, but now it's higher up on the list.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I have friends who have pipes that are lower, and they do scrape them. I did not think it was possible with my setup.

 

I hear you man, like I said above some 422's with more preload and I will replace the shields and see what happens. I need to call my hookup at V&H and see how much she can get me the parts for.

 

what kind of highway pegs are they? great look

 

thanks for the compliments. they are the Kuryakyn cruise arm mark IV. the horn is the arlen ness and you put any 5 hole timer cover that way it matches your style. i have many more plans in the near future. todds cycle 12" apes and I'm gonna do a scallop paint job. seat is on order.

 

Here is my contribution. I work in progress........a never ending work in progress!!!
