I have Progressives on my rear suspension, and they are a half inch lower than stock (maybe an inch, i cant remember off the top of my head).

I've had SE II Pro slip ons, and I have the V&H pro Pipe now.

There was a thread a while back about "chicken strips". It was a discussion about how wide the band is on the side of the tire... i went out to look at mine recently, and I have 3/4" band on the left, and 1" on the right. I think it is save to say I lean fairly well into the turns.
i have nevery scraped anything but my extended foot controls, and that was coming out of a steep driveway... I turned out at a bad angle and gave them a tap (the extended controls also extend the pegs out, making them more prone to scraping).

I just can't believe there are folks out there with problems scraping, unless of course they have seriously slammed their bike.

i think, for the average rider, that does average mods, the Dyna is not a bad bike when it comes to lean angles.

 

This is good news. I was getting nervous about all the threads I've read of people scrapping pegs and pipes....even sliding out because of it. I guess those accounts must be from mountain riders or something.

 

I drag my heel on right turns. I have forward controls. Never have any problems on teh left side. Have scraped the SE slip ons a few times with my wife on the back. Might need to adjust the preload up another notch.

I scrape the foot pegs all the time with the stock height, but never the exhaust....maybe i gots to get a little deeper...

 

I live in the mountains

I don't know, there are a few people here saying they have scraped their slip ons... its got to have something to do with the bank of the road being turned on .... banking out instead of in. I've actually got a fair amount of those fun turns around where I ride and I still haven't scraped anything. I don't get how some of you guys are actually scraping your pipes.

I wouldn't get too concerned about it jefx, I think the numbers are on your side. if, of the thousands of Dyna riders out there, there are a few folks that scrap... the percentages are in your favor.

Like I said in my first post, I am using almost the entire tire when I ride and I don't have issues.. even with a slightly lowered rear end

 

I get the pipes every now and then, but as someone else pointed out, it is usually the turns with that little dip in them.

Now the pegs, they were scraping all the time. I went with the air foil short peg. That cut down on about 50% of the scrapes.

 

was able to drag pipe on right and primary on left while bike was still stock. only when really leaning it over hard. now that i lowered it i can do it whenever i want damn near. sucks to have a bike that handles so good.

 

Not true, I've been riding awhile, going on 40 yrs mostly mid size standards and dual purpose bikes. I scaped a peg day one on the way home from the dealership.The truth is the cornering clearance on these bikes as delivered is pathetic but most Harley riders are more into looks than handling so they usually slam em even lower.You can get quite a bit more clearance just by cranking up the stock rear shocks I did that awhile back and I can ride pretty aggressively now without dragging anything.

 

I must have the special "raised, better clearance" edition Dyna
