Anyone drag a peg on a turn?
#21
I'm 62 and use to race. I bought the Harley in order to make myself cruise. If I owned a hyabusa I'd have to see if it would go and at 62, fall-down go boom from being dumb is tough to live over. However I use to drag regularly on my 02 wideglide til I put Progressive 1/2" longer than stock shocks on the rear. Now I start to get skiddish before I start dragging things and it is really comfortable on long rides to boot.----jack

Absolutely! I did some draggin while riding the Dragon last Sept. I was so addicted to dragging that when I got home if I didn't scrape I felt let down. It's a bad addiction. I was scraping pretty hard through some turns and knew early on how far I could go before I got that same feeling you got.

The scary thing is the stock mid pegs don't even make a sound the first few times until the rubber is ground away. Wait until you tag the ground with the primary!!!! That thing doesn't give. I have boards now and those make some noise when they hit. I've gotten down to the mounting braket on the left side and they don't give either!

scrape pegs and rear of the fatcat. Funny thing I noticed, I seem to be more apt to go deep to the right as opposed to the left. Mostly though i touch my heel of my shoe before the peg. One time I touched heel, lifted my foot up a little and the peg folded up about 45 deg on me. I know the point of touching down so probably about 90% of the time when cornering fast I am just a touch above scraping.
