Default V&H big radius 2-1 pipe on a Fatboy...Will it scrape on hard cornering??

I really like the look and sound of the 2-1 big radius on a Fatboy.

Does anyone know if it scrapes in hard cornering?

Thanks

It will not scrape. I have these pipes on my fat boy lo. Other parts will scrape before pipes do

Loved mine. Great sound and good performance. Mine were one of the first out the door from V&H. Got lots of compliments and lots of yucks. Sort of a love it or hate thing. My bike was lowered 2 in and the only time I ever had an issue was a hard right turn going up a driveway curb. Tiny little nick.

Love them. Love the sound. Not obnoxious unless you want them to be.

As I mentioned in another thread, unless you're seriously lowered, no way to hit that pipe just turning hard. There are a lot of Harley guys that hate 2-1 pipes. I love mine. The sound and power are awesome.

My NT is lowered and I ride... I have dragged the tip of the pipe enough times that it's scrapped up.
I think other people ride like ladies or don't know how to corner
