Sorry, nice pic, but front suspension looks all used up to me, no wonder your scrapping the primary in that turn, no offense, are you trying to do that, by entering late and then forcing it over. I will probably **** you off, but the whole picture makes me cringe, ride safe man.

i ride and thats what its all about. As far as me trying to purposely scrape
its not it, if i don't ill be out of the road. As far as suspension i upgraded
the front to some Progressive (stock height) springs and heavy duty fork
oil, which stiffened it up and that fork brace really helps too. My rears
are stock shocks but at the highest setting, lookin to get some 440's
down the road. Runnning stock tires, which suprisingly hold up except the
front tire shows some cupping.

I like the pic good riding, but thought there would be alot more comments on you wearing shoes instead of boots or maybe that just in the touring section. Anyways I prefer to roll with chucks.

My wife bought a new 06 Bob, we went for our first real ride -Northern Washington foothills, and she complained about a loud noise when turning right-----on examination it was the lower portion of the pipes that she was scrapin!!---she loves this bike, now has V&H 2/1 pipes and rides just as hard, slight rubbing on end of pipe. So far nothing on the left side of the cases, just a matter of time, oh! she's 51 this year.
