I installed a set of street glide shocks on my ultra, i was scraping boards badly before this but after this, i may as well drive 35mph everywhere i go cause i lean the bike left or right to much, scraaaaape!!!! These shocks gotta go, this aint no way to ride around. Am i missing something?

I've got a 2014 StreetGlide Special and never had a problem.

My kickstand scrapes on sharp left handers but that's about it and I ride back roads all the time. Funny thing is I lowered my 2010 road king with lowering blocks 1" to the stock height of a street glide and scraped all the time left and right.

Own a 2014 SG. No issue for me. Maybe need adjustment?

I have not had any scraping problems with my 2013 FLHX with stock air shocks and we have plenty of curvy country roads out here in Texas. Maybe I am just not aggressive enough in my turns?

I does what the bike does:grin. All kidding aside, i lean with the bike, at 60mph, i low side this bike now like crazy, more so with the drop. I gotta slow down and realize im riding a waterbed and not a bar hopper!!
