New Fatboy Lo

Hey, about to pull the trigger on the 2013 fb Lo. I took one for a test ride and it felt great. However I scraped the floor board just making a right turn at an intersection.

I was curious if other owners felt this small amount of lean to be a problem.... Or do u just stop noticing it after time ?

Thanks,
Rich

Ground clearance/lean angle is definitely an issue with the "Lo". That said, it's a great bike! Buy it, ride it, enjoy it. You'll get used to the cornering.

The floor boards are supposed to scrape. When they get worn out it is time to replace the whole bike. Harley thinks of everything.

BTW Congrats on choosing a LO. Your going to love it.
