    I've repainted my heat shields twice and they need it done again.

    Titanium pucks help my pegs

    Won't bother replacing these mounts for my highway pegs.

    Well I sort of one upped them. I’ve scraped the the top of the break and clutch reservoirs and the top of the passenger back rest along with the top of the dash.

    No sparks, but the acorn nuts on the pegs are no longer acorn nuts.

    I'm with Will; probably comes from my upbringing. If I broke my toys, they stayed broken, and didn't get replaced.

    Even when I was younger I never remember scraping the pegs/boards on any of my bikes...Now at almost 78 I don't even think about trying!!...Seems kinda foolish to me and really serves no purpose other than to land yourself and bike on the pavement...Ride safe

    I'm jealous and needing to up my skill evidently. After getting the Traxxion Full Monty I don't think I've scraped once and I've had her over hard a few times...I don't really want to scrape but would like to get my skills closer to those displayed.

    These bikes run out of cornering clearance fast. They are really easy to scrape pegs. Good riding technique can reduce scraping. The suspension upgrades I did have improved things, but ride in the twisties hard enough and these bikes start grinding hard parts.

    Hoping that when the time comes and I am ready to upgrade to a new Wing that the new ones have more clearance.
