Ok of know I might not drive as hard many but I easily go faster through corners than my harley friends whose bike are screeching painfully, and I have yet to drag anything other than my heels hanging off my folding pegs on valve covers. So my question is those who say they scrape what the heck are you dragging?

Belly pan, driver foot pegs, front crash bars, muffler, heat shields and the nuts that hold them on. All though I did manage to get the bags, windshield, passenger back rest.
You must work extra hard at hitting the windshield and passenger backrests, are you sure your tires are on the bottom side when that happens.lolQuote:

I bought the titanium pucks for saving the pegs and throwing pretty sparks when scraping pegs and they're great.

I drag quite a few pieces and am going to be upgrading my suspension soon.

Yea up side down into the opposite ditch. Missed the deer. I needed about 3 more feet of tar and a bit more lean angle and it would have been a "did Ya see that"moment. Instead it was a oh f---- moment. And that's how you change a black F6B into a yellow one.Quote:

Like JimmyTee, new suspension is in work....
Geez you guys...! That sure is a lot of stuff to be scraping! :shock: I've only scraped my Kury Kinetic pegs. I must not be leaning over far enough :icon_lol:
This would be of great concern. I don't like how the Ergo III's stick out so far with that main swivel mechanism.

Maybe it's because I mechanically lowered my bike 1" but I always scrape the kick stand foot when making hard left turns. Or maybe it's just because the road is graded the wrong way. Yeah, that's it, It's all those damn highway workers fault! 'angel'
When did this happen?Quote:

In a lefty, hit a bumb and srapped pretty good. I dialed up my adjuster and that particular corner was clear the last time. It raises the back just enough. But if you push it you will scape pegs. This bike is very capable . I love my WAR MACHINE.
Where did you get those at?? I like scraping at night I have titanium acorns on my bike but there not that wide. I like those.Quote:
