does anyone else scrape turning left?

I scrape turning left on many turns and only once in a while turning right. It seems the kickstand is what I'm scraping. It is all the way up, do you guys do the same thing? Or is something wrong. My bike is a 2012 Ultra limited not lowered with stock height JRI model B's. What gives?

My kickstand is a frequent pavement scraper. I have a extension on it, and that is what is making contact.

Seems like I scrape more on the left than the right as well. But I haven't given that much thought to it. Sometimes I think, Oops... Other times I think, that's pretty cool.

Yup....its the kickstand. Mine scrapes. No extension or anything, just a stocker.

It happens most often when the turn has a slope change that bumps the jiffy stand down just a bit. It doesn't scrape before my footboard when I'm practicing slow full lock turns in the parking lot.

My floorboard, but mostly the kickstand. It makes contact at the first bend.

I have had a few scrapes on both sides in turns, never looked to see what was touching
the ground, I assumed it was footboards. Now I have to go out and look !
