Default "New" Replaceable Lean Angle Feeler Plate

Has anybody seen one of these new "Feeler Plates" in person or does anybody have a picture of one? I just saw it on the 2015 Technical Bulletin and I havent seen it discussed on the forum yet.

Not a bad idea. My right floor board bracket is getting pretty wore down with my floorboard extenders.

My Buell and Sporty both came with footrest 'feelers' - the first things I took off! They reduce cornering clearance, as I suspect those will too.

My phone won't let me paste the link. Page 2 of the touring forum is a thread on 14-15 tech changes with a link.

Those are standard on the Limited Low I saw. They just screw to the bottom of the floor board.

Looks like something I will be adding to my SGS.... I'm always dragging the floor boards and would like to drag something that is replaceable if possible. Wonder if I can drill and tap mine or get a slim nut in there to bolt them on or if the floor board is a completely different design?

The tech bulletin also shows a different type of "feeler" that now comes on the CVO bikes. Looks like a different design than these ones.

My local dealers are so worthless they probably won't even know about these when I go ask them.

They are standard on the Limited Low because of the reduction in ground clearance. They want to get the rider's attention before they touch down any hard parts. They look like the picture. The finish is a gloss black. They look OK.
