I have my bike lowered about an inch and a half in the front and about 2 inches in the back. I have heard deluxe riders saying they scrape there running boards when turning corners. Over the past couple of months i have leaned my bike as far as I could without going down and never had them hit. I had two new tires put on today both the same exact tires as the ones i took off factory OEM Dunlop's exact same numbers on them. today i took a corner and hardly leaned the bike at all and dam the running board scraped to my surprise a few minutes later again. what could have changed to cause this i am truly puzzled any one got any ideas I was told the tires have 36 pounds of air in them which is recommended i have not checked them yet but will in the morning. I would not thing a few pounds of air could have this effect.
I'm no help for you here,
but I have a Fat Boy withstock suspension
and I can drag my floor boards pulling away from a stop light and taking aturn to a new street.
That's alway a shocker for me.

Same here Les. Hey Nikon, they didn't go and raise the street on you did they? LOL- kidding, of course.I scraped mine too before I changed wheels.Not that the wheels made a difference...i'm just more aware now. Sharp turn at low speed pulling away from a red light.
