I can't do it. I got use to scraping my floorboards on a few tight turns with my 02 RKC, but I'm not doing it on my 09 SG. I was kind of worried about this since the SG is an inch lower, but it is no problem.

The more I ride my new SG, the more I really like the way these 09s handle.

Lean a little farther and it will happen.

 

they are down there ya just gotta get to em

 

I have difficulty finding mine on my Glide as well.

 

Just last week I scrapped my Right side floorboard for the first time, kinda scared me at first, then I was kinda excited that I could do it!!!

 

Ride like these guys and you will scrape:

that's impressive. I wish I was that skilled.... of course I don't even have 200 miles on my SG yet lol

 

I have no problem scraping the boards on my 09 street glide. In fact...I think its too easy for me...I dont like it. I even scraped the floor board bracket in a turn. Now mind you I ride like the guys in the video above...ok maybe not that hard, but hard enough to scrape very often. When I scrpaed the mounting bracket...I almost went down. The rear end of my bike hopped to the side about 8 or 10 inches and veered hard to the right...I damn near went down. Maybe I should consider raising mine some how. Any suggestions?

Lots of ways to get more cornering clearance!

Not much you can do with Harley tourers - once you stop one thing from scraping your on to the next. Gotta say - they handle pretty damn good for what they are though.

 

Drag them all the time in hard corners. Turning left and dragging the jiffy stand is way more unnerving than the right board.
