Has anybody here done the Dragon etc, with a lowered bike like the Lo or deluxe, Was it constant scraping. I am thinking of getting the longer shocks to help but then my shield will probably be too short.

 

Well mines not lowered, but I can tell you I left a little metal behind doing the dragon. As far as lowered bikes, I don't think you can have your cake and eat it too.

 

I did it last year 2 up on a stock Fatboy. You WILL scrape the boards. On her request, I went slow (5-30 mph) and still scraped on a few of those hairpin turns. It was an AWESOME ride.

 

A friend of mine did it on his Crossbones, I and another friend were planning on doing it this summer or next, but from what I've read from um..everyone.. you ALWAYS scrape your boards on that trip.. and more importantly.. when they say 15mph, you DO 15mph

 

Your gonna scrape........ Scrapins fun... I scraped my exhaust before I hit the floorboards, but I did hit the boards a few times...

Nothing like sparks flying........

 

Rode it on a Heritage and scraped the boards a few times! As long as you don't scrape knees or elbows,it's all good!

 

I rode my night train with 422s on it last summer all the way slammed with no problems

 

I rode it last summer and scraped boards and pipes both several times.Like said earlier, as long as its not body parts I wouldnt worry about it.

 

I'll have to agree with the 15mph. I was riding 2up so I took my time, while my solo buddies on their batwings were cruising along pretty good. I was glad I was going a little slower when around a blind turn I see a rice rocket coming towards me in my lane passing someone.

 

Thats one of the bad things about going all the addrealine i rode my nt and my wifes night rod both were alot of fun i only had 3 bikes pass me when i was eidin my bike and only 1 when i was on her bike its nice having dual front calipers on the vrod
