RE: Floorbard Extension question
I fabricated my own extension 1 1/4, before when I scrape on the Port side (left) sorry the navy talk. \\; the spring for the kickstand would scrape now it's my floorboard arm.  \\;I can deal with that since it's made of thicker material than the spring. \\; I notice I scrape more.

You won't need to lean as much if you take the outside, inside, outside route through the turn. \\; Anyway, you do have POTENTIAL to scrape more. \\; However, it's not alot. \\; I took a guess at some dimensions and set the floorboard height to 12" and the floorboard width to 6". \\; This gives a max of 63 degrees before you scrape. \\; Now, extending the board one inch gives you 60 degrees. \\; This isn't exact, just some rough numbers and there are other factors, but it should give you an idea of how little this will change. \\; 3 degrees isn't much. \\;

I made my own 1" extentions, only scraped it once in 3 yrs, on the Blue ridge cruzing and enjoying it, mind started to wander until i had to lean'r over little bit more than usual to make the turn. That was the trip I ran the BRP complete length and turned around and went back.....Here's a picture of a sign I had to take....
Innovative people 'round here making their own. I like that. Only one scrape on such a windy road is impressive. I would scrape my pegs without the extensions on a road like that. No need top worry though. It puts hair on your chest.
