It's more picture angle than anything RR.You can only lean a lowered softail so far.It goes around the corners pretty good for a land whale.G.

back again, what did you use to hoop that picture up, it looks bad ***! I have yet to scrape a peg. What does it feel like when the peg lifts up from contacting the road?

When I have done it, I think I can hear the bike whispering in my ear, "stop being an azz, I'm a Harley not a crotch rocket."
"And if you twist that throttle any while we're tipped over like this, I'm going to kick your sorry azz off me".

I've scraped my primary several times. Scraping the pegs is childs play, it happens all of the time.

Yep...my bike told me a secret once...that the most dangerous part of a motorcycle is the nut that connects the seat to the handlebars...I paid attention, and neither the bike or myself has been scraped or banged up since...

Oddly enough the pegs don't scrape since I put the Ness extention plates on.The bottom of the brake pedal and frame and primary usually take the most hits.
Let's just say it gets your attention twisted 125.Ain't that the truth Night Train.
Thanks pogden.I'm thinking that belt drive you have wold look good on it.G.
