Anyone else drag their "Jiffy stand" when cornering?
I figured I would drag a peg or my heel but not the Jiffy Stand! Is there a fix for this other than taking it off (j/k)! Why the hell does the MoCo call it a "Jiffy Stand" anyway?

Yep, I've done it a few times but it's not a big deal. It just means you're having a good time.

Sometimes but not often, you will learn how to avoid it.

I didn't drag the kickstand until the spring got a bit weak. I frequently drag the pipes, toes....etc etc

I don't drag anything, on any of my Harley's.....
Guess I should feel guilty about not taking them beyond their limits, but I don't.

Nah, mid-controls, no heal shifter, so my left foot is generally under the shift peg.

I have forward controls. I scrape my heels sometimes, but I've hardly ever scraped anything else. Except the pipes a couple of times. I tend to turn a lot harder to the right than to the left, I guess.

Scraped the heels plenty of times. Usually my left one.

The only time I've had it scrap is if there is a bump in the corner. And only a few times...
