Default The first thing to hit the ground...

....on a 2010 Limited when you're leaned waaaaaay over in a right turn is not:

- The highway pegs.

- The rider footboards with Soos 3/4" extensions.

- The passenger footboards with Soos 1" extensions.

- Anything painted.

It's the stinkin' Fatcat..... Maybe I should've lowered the bike rather than raised it....Then I would have dragged something cheap.....
