Anybody else scraping pegs, exhaust?
It seems that lowering the rear end is an inevitability on my Bob. However, three times in recent weeks I have scraped the exhaust and one of my mid control pegs. Anybody else with a stock height Low Rider or Bob scrape while turning? Is it worse those of you who have lowered your Dyna's?

I've never scraped my bike while it was stock, and maybe it's because I am not a daredevil on my bike.
I lowered my bike about a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday I finally scraped it while taking a sharp right turn, but not on the pegs, but on the frame that keeps the slip-ons together.

I scrape on tne right side all the time, there is one bolt that sticks down half inch from the muffler bracket. Now I just lower my heel a little on the turns. When it scrapes I back off a bit.
My bike is stock wide glide, lowered must be worse IMHO.

I scrape my bob on the right side mostly. It's got standard shocks on the hardest but one setting and standard exhaust.
May consider 1" longer ones if anyone in the UK has any they are taking off a Dyna??
