Default Dragging my primary cover.
I'm not sure what the fix is but every time I make a hard left turn my outer primary cover drags. I will try adjusting the shocks up but i'm not sure that will help. Yea I know I could lose a few pounds too. P.S. does anyone have a silver stock outer primary cover for a 07 softail. Doesnt hurt to ask.

Is it lowered? I can drag both side if I try. Mine is lowered and I seem to drag a bit too. Be carefull not to do it too hard.... Trust me I found out the hard way.

I assume its the outer primary, but the jiffy stand drags way before that.

Ouch. thats a bad hole. I hope someone else can chime in and hook you up. I love the sparks, but that seems excessive.
