Looking at putting a Bassani Road Rage II, P/N 1D18R, on a stock suspension 14 Wide Glide. Any issues with this pipe dragging? As long as my pegs drag before the pipe I'm good.

 

I was under the impression that the 2-1 systems are designed to keep the exhaust from hitting before the pegs. I can't see how that system would drag before your pegs.

 

I've got the Road Rage on my 13' Fat Bob and I hit the pegs well in advance of the pipes

 

You're "Good"! Pegs hit well before the pipe. In fact I've not scraped this pipe yet.

 

Being on forward controls your pegs hit first so you should be fine. If on mid controls and stock suspension you're gonna drag it. This applies to the pipe pictured in JMC22's sig pic, not the pipe in EricInNCa's sig.

 

Some are, some aren't. The systems that route the rear head pipe under the mid control peg drag a hell of a lot earlier. Pipes like Bassani, that only put the front pipe under the peg have about 1.75-2in more clearance (dia. Of a head pipe)

I have V&H staggered short shots and that has one pipe that goes under the mid control peg and I've drug it, yes my peg scraped first, but if you ride hard scraping your pegs you're probably going to scrape any pipe that is anything more that just head pipes that dump by your foot.

 

Is that the short upsweep??

 

I drag a little on weird pavement surfaces, like with a low dip and then a high ride on corners.
Doesn't happen that often and I will stay with my Bassanis no matter what.

 

Thanks for the replies. Wanting to go with the Bassani 1D18R. Guess I need to decide if alittle scraping is acceptable.
