+1 on that scraper board. Doesn't exist bro, but a new primary drive shell is like 200 online Ive replaced mine once back when I didn't know how much character that kind a thing adds to trains!

Lower the front. Sounds dumb but, it will even out the frame rail. and put more scraping ability on the foot pegs n kick stand. i scraped in the same spot til I lowered the front.

Haven't had that problem..and mine is sitting on bump stops. I scrape the back portion of the frame or the exhaust. Never hit the primary probably cause i didn't lower my front is my guess. I've been thinking air ride myself but don't have the chedda...Good luck

Well I ordered the "progressive drop in" kit today for the front. I'm hoping that it will correct the problem. Can't afford air ride right now as I bought a set of apes and new pipes, but air ride is coming sometime after the new year.

I love the way you ride, I have questions..
1 - Did you modify your shocks ? specially the rear ones ?
2 - Do you use tubeless on the rear ? or tubed ?

The back has been lowered 2 inches and I'm running a tubeless rear tire.
