The kickstand scrapes too?!?!?!
Starting to think I should have got an R or maybe even a Buell. Was out riding the Custom recently and scraping the lower pipe tip on my turn-outs is nothing new. But this time I leaned left and learned just how far to go to get the kick stand to hit. I guess the good news is the bike sticks to the road far better than the gear strapped on it will allow.
Gotta remember I bought a cruiser called a Sport and not an actual Sport bike. Still wicked fun to ride though.

Yep, I've done this as well. Muffler, kick stand, my foot, my forward controls. It's my first bike. I love to really lean into the corners. It's tough to remember that these bike's are not made for that type of riding. Almost wondering if I can ditch the forward controls and put em back like a stock setup to corner and lean tighter?

That's one helluva lean, mister! Do you wear knee pucks when you ride?

Yes my "jiffy stand" has a few marks on it as well as something on the right that grinds that I have not been able to determine what is yet.
A few sparks around the corners just lets people know where you are! lol
