Have no idea how you ride, ground clearance on the scoot and how much you like getting into the curve is what I was referring to. It's all good, just saying the more comfortable you get with the scoot the more you'll spark those floorboards up in the curves. I ride a Deluxe which has a 4.8" ground clearance and I've read the clearance on the slim is what, 4.5"?
Floorboard pans seldom wear out and no one sees them. Worse scenario is you have to make sure the insert rubber grommets are fastened.
I’m almost with ya, and I dont mind scraping the boards, BUT! touch a mount and you’ve got a handful. I think barely scraping is fun, but doing it as a matter of course is putting you close to those solid mounts should something not go as planned in the corner. IMO better to learn to ride the softie with body english, and save your margin for error (or dodging others people errors)

Floorboards swivel, the angle into the curve is everything. It's not for the nvice rider. There are several videos on the site where the advanced riders do the Police event on the obstacle course. Most of you should watch it and get an idea what were referring to. Cheers

I’ve been riding for 29 years.
They most certainly do, and when you run out of said swivel because there is a big old dip in the road, or a teenage girl texting while driving on your side of the yellow, you will stab the mount, lift your back tire off the ground, most likely high-side and drill in. Like I said; barely scraping in a controlled manner on a road you’re familiar with is fun, doing it to the point that the board is swiveling up on a road you aren’t is just plain stupid, not to mention poor form. I don’t have any video references for you..
