Similar to a Street Glide, of which I scrape my boards all the time. On the model you can raise your floor boards about a 1/2 inch. But sooner or the later the better you get you are back to scraping. Just common sense.
Also incorrect advise leaning your body first, to controll the bike learn counter streering and throttle controll through your turns. (Totally different thread). That is what precludes scrapping and wobble.

Must be a difference in the seats. The ground clearance on both the 10 and 11 model RK Standard is listed as 5.1"

The "lean first" was meant as a complete operation w/counter steering...I thought counter steering was common knowledge...
I see so many people counter steer/leaning the bike but keep their body straight up resulting in over leaning the bike to off set incorrect body alignment and causing parts to scrape.
if you lean your body into the turn, the lean angle of the bike will be reduced.
Counter steering is a must to turn a 2 wheeled bike at road speed, I thought that was a given.
Either way, that is a complete different discussion...
