    Dragging in corner?

    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?

    The acorn nut that holds on the rubber pad on the bottom of the front foot pegs.

    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.

    That's some pretty serious cornering!

    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.lol

    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.
