Rob, loosen your left control and rotate it forward 1/4 inch. It will give you the space you need. If you want another 1/4" loosen your left control and slide it laterally (away from center another 1/4"). Mine cleared and I love the flipped look and coverage. Good luck 👍

Just put on the imagemotorcycle salute kickstand, saw some stories where they’ve cracked, but mine seems pretty solid, might have to buzz some of the bottom off to get it totally flat but holds the bike up solidly and looks good!

Default Old vs new

Hello y'all.

New to the forum and looking to get my first Harley.
My hearts set on the breakout, but honestly don't know squat about Harleys. I have found some used ones that already have VH pipes and a mixture of other goodies, also found several 2018 holdovers I can probably get a sweet deal on.. Which avenue should a guy take? I understand the 18 and 19 are completely different. Any years a guy should stay away from?

Thanks in advance for the help
