Beware Brukus KickShoe
Installed on my NON-lowered 2006 Ultra. On mild left-hand turns it drags the pavement. Consequently it put a nice gouge in my chrome primary cover. I wrote to Brukus. One would have thought that this bad flaw might have been discovered during design.
I have never even taken a turn that dragged the floorboards. Now in a turn so mild that I wondered what had happened I just knew then that the KickShoe was responsible. This is not a good product from one of our sponsors.
Anybody who wants it can have it for the cost of mailing. It is a piece of crap in that it could eventually penetrate the primary. I took it off after this one experience. First ride with it on--Bingo! A deep scratch in the chrome.

Doesn't matter how it is held on. It is a piece of **** and perhaps even dangerous given that it contacts the pavement when one would not expect it. The turn I made was at slow speed in a parking lot and not even close to touching the floorboard. I am pissed at Brukus for this.
I've been using the same thing for 40 years. Crushed beer can slipped under the kickstand if the campground parking lot is too soft.

If it's installed correctly, they is no way that thing will scrape before your floorboards. I have had mine on since they first started selling them and never had an issue. Post some pics of it installed on your bike.
Is it true the Kick Shoe has been redesigned because of possible scrape issues???????????????????
