Bingo!
Not to mention lower suspension on Fatboy vs Road King (13" shocks) will make a difference.

Come ride the twisties of NC, TN, GA and VA and if you aren't scraping you are not riding "aggressively" for a Harley!

If you can't get the foot boards to touch, try a little 80 grit sand paper on the edges so you can show your friends your riding skill.

Why not have a couple of buddies gently lay your bike over easy while you look to see what will scrape first?

Softail vs. Touring lean angle. I scrape my Heritage regularly, but haven't scraped the Road King yet.

Came back from a week out there on my streetglide this summer and I hardly even had any footboards left when I got back.

I use to scrape mine all the time with my Goldwing but have never done it with my Ultra Classic yet.

I have scraped my ultra limited multiple times - not really intentionally but I do corner aggressively (sometimes)
