I've not had any scraping however I am running the 3" bags. Seems like from reading 4"> it can be problem. TS does have the Viper 4.5" bag that has shaved sides which is equal 3" bags in turns I've heard they don't scrape.

Ironically, the comment about my lawn makes me smile sooooo much more than any comment I could receive about the bike!!! I put in alot of freaking sweat into this lawn! Thanks for noticing.
Yeah, I've heard. Ironically I have buddies with 4 1/2 and they don't scrape. It's one of those things I keep encoutering: Internet forum versus what I see in the real world. Maybe those guys don't lean as hard as guys on the forum, but we ride together and they don't ride like old men. They only have issues when entering parking lots that may have a steep grade difference when entering/exiting it.

It looks like your frame rails are exposed, I thought the Bad Dad covered them and thus prevented use of passenger backrest and tourpack attachments.
I am curious because I have a bad dad all in one sitting in the box in my living room right now.
Oh and Looks Great! Makes me salivate at the chance to put mine on... now if I could only find a painter that doesnt want to bend me over...
Would you be willing to disclose the cost of the paint work on the fenders and bags?
I have FF 5" Fallen Angel bags that have the angle on the outside... Dont think Ill scrape!

I hope you bought the setup you intended. Summit Fender Vs Bagger Fender ...I bought the summit fender, which allows continued use of backrests/tourpaks, etc. If you go to their website--pictures show that the rail is still showing, so I knew what it would look like. They have a bagger fender which covers the rail, thus eliminating usage of 4 point docking system all together. Why someone would do that, I'm not sure--because you have to buy a kit from them in order to mount anything if u get the Bagger Fender. I think those guys really want everything covered. I'm about looks--but I also ride, so maintaining the usage of 4 pt docking was important.

Oh ok.. your 1st posts says bagger all in one, not summit is why I was confused. I intentionally bought the bagger, I want the frame rails covered. I bought the kit to allow a backrest for my passenger, I dont run a tourpack.
Thanks for the info!
