Do baggers lean into corners more?
Is it me or does a bagger lean into corners easier and deeper?
It seems so much easier to lean in with the Ultra than it does with the Low Rider. Either it just feels that way, maybe the 180 tire on the Low Rider or i did too many drugs as a kid. Not sure which.

Yes! Lean more cause it's cool to scrape the boards. Sounds like somebody dragging a trash can and it scares hell out of everyone around you

My FXRS corners WAY better than this heavy pig FLHTC. Has more ground clearance too.

Good handling is probably the best-kept secret of the FL family.My RK continually surprises me with its competence in the curves.Part is attributable to balance and part to suspension design.We are getting the benefit of fifty years of suspension refinement.

RE: Do baggers lean into corners more?
Absolutely... Better clearance from the floorboards is one of the keys. With my Heritage, I was scraping boards all the time and had thought about putting titanium plates on the bottom -- for a nice "light show" at night. Now with the Ultra, I'm waaaaay into a corner before I can scrape the boards.
