Who else has marked their territory like this? I forgot to raise the bike up one day.

I don't miss the fatcat although it would scrape easier in the canyons. Ask JD Swiper about the bolt that holds the baffle in on my old one. The head of the bold is compeltely gone. These are bound scrape every once in a while. I have never had an exhaust that has never scraped. It is the nature of the beast for me and where and how I ride.

My WCC floorboards which are way longer than stock scrape every once in a while too. I ride at full height when in teh canyon's and can move along at a pretty good clip without scraping most of the time. If I were to take my Harley Goodies extensions off they would scrape even less, but the added comfort is well worth it.

Take the good with the bad. My bike is set up to ride, not to be a show bike although most people think the opposite. I started hanging out with a new club in the last month and they seem to think all I want to do is show my bike. I ask about their bikes and they tell me they are for riding. I look at mine and say it is too. They don't quite understand me yet.

haha yeah someone's going to look at that and go "what the heck?"

by the title of this thread I thought you were referring to the old panheads and knuckleheads that leaked oil when the engines were stopped and made it look like the bikes were pissing on the ground where they stood
