I traded my dyna for a SG a couple of months ago and riding 2 up I recently scraped . havn't looked but believe it was the pipes. I too like to lean it to the max but after seeing oneballz post 2011 street glide low side crash I am thinking of changing my riding habits ( especially 2 up ). The last thing I want is to scrape something that doesn't give and puts me down !!!
Didn't the older bikes also have an adjustment to raise or lower the floor boards?

The 1' lower rear on a SG makes it much easier to scrape. I'm not sure how you are scraping the mount and not the board. I'm scraping both. I have't had a problem with the back lifting but one time when I hit a pretty good dip mid corner while scraping ane got it on the frame a bit. Had to check to see if I needed a patch for the hole I sucked in my seat. Definitely needed a new pair of boxers. I put a little taller ohlins 3-3s shocks and with a 200/55 17 tire instead of a 200/50 17 and I don't scrape beyond the boards as much now.

Ultra classic skid point
I ride an ultra classic and it doesn't seem like I can get even close to the boards? Is it these guys on street glides and road glides who are on their boards? What's the reference point on an ultra classic? Is there anything anyone has added?and of you're on an ultra classic scraping boards are you on stock tires? I feel like pirrelli might get me there. Maybe that's what I'm missing?
