Default wow! scraped my pipes today

Well I guess I'm getting more comfortable with my bike now. Finally scraped my pipes while riding today. Twice! I always thought, "no way I'll ever get this thing to lean that much through turns"

Just remember--when your scraping it's a warning your close to going down.

Careful what you wish for!

I scraped the stock pipes when I got my street bob before, but I dont think the person had the shocks adjusted right, I got the tool to adjust them and got different pipes now and havent scraped them yet...I have hit my foot peg on the ground tho, and that alone kind of got me a little freaked out cause I felt my heel on the pavement and didnt really like that too much, scares you just a lil bit

I have Samson pipes and they ride kinda low, I scrape them routinely! You should see the underside of the bottom pipe! Gonna replace them with V&H pipes at some point!
