Luckily she is petite so the passenger boards are on the highest setting so hopefully will not touch down before the rider boards.

Coming from sport bikes, I was use to more speed though the curves, but coming home from work a couple of months ago on my Harley Electra Glide, I was enjoying the ride a little to much, and rub something on the right side in a 30 MPH curve. I don't know what rubbed and I have slowed down in the curves since then.....

I rode sportbikes mostly in recent years but can still remember the old Triumphs and others of the 70s that would grind the centrestands and non-folding footpegs and spit off in to the ditch on the side of the road. I did enough of that **** back then and am too old for it now.

Left on mine is floorboard. Right is the tip of my Reinhart 2 into 1. FLHTCUI. I can get pretty froggy with the lump, but it does involve getting off the seat some. (I've not been able to drag a knee, however.)
