It's grinding 1/8 - 1/4 inch off of the tab on the kickstand so the bike sits over far enough after it's been lowered.

 

No one likes marks on their bike, but instead of getting annoyed/upset about it, I try to see it in a positive way. Every mark on there was put by me, and every mark has a story

 

Yea I don't mind the marks...you should see the underside of my exhaust!

 

Slow down a little. You'll have a more harmonious outcome.

 

Nope. All my stuff is stock height. H-D's ain't canyon carvers to begin with and (for me) stuff like lowering and forward controls take away alot of cornering & control. When my pegs are scraping, my primary still ain't nowhere near the street.

 

Once and it scared the **** out of me when it unloaded the suspension. I was getting around a corner that wad a hump to it and it hit hard, not a scrape. I try not to get that low, if I wanted to I'd still be on a sport bike.

 

yes my fxdf stock height has hit a few times looks a bit more ground than yours first time i did it i just thought it was the pegs i ended up putting a bit of aluminium plate around it looks bloody horrible but dont want the expense of replacing it the guy i ride with has a fxdf too and his leaks oil where the ground has gone all the way through

 

Thanks!

 

Mine is stock height and i grind pipes and primary all of the time. I think I saw a quote on here a while back:

"If you ain't grindin, you ain't ridin"



.

 

On my first Street Bob I hit the primary when it was at stock height so whether it's lowered or not I'll end up hitting it either way. I only had that bike for a year so never got to test how much abuse it could take before it cracked or ground through. I guess we will see.
