Engine Guard
I have been thinking about putting an engine guard and cruise pegs on my Heritage Classic. What I was wondering is if anyone has ever scrapped there guard in a tight turn? I have hit my floor boards several times but they move. Just looking at a bike with engine guards I can't tell what will hit first.

RE: Engine Guard
Floorboards will still hit first. My belief is that you aren't going to ever scrape your engine guard and be able to keep going.
When my floorboards scrape, I am a long way away from scraping my exterior pegs mounted to the guard. If my guard ever starts scraping, if I notice, means I'm on my way to a bad day.

I added the guards to my Heritage. I think they're called acorn shape guards. The have built in places to put your feet for cruising and I think the only way you can scrape them is by falling.
