Yeah bro not sold yet on them yet, kinda like the bullet cowl but that changed in a short order. Like the chrome and the idea behind the engine guard just hope they are not going to scrape.

The way you like to ride they will most definitely touch down bro , some of the guys at SERR have them and the hard riders hit theirs !
I just got a set of Freedom Sharp Curves but will not be putting them on until my V&H 2in2 start looking real bad. When I do I don't want to scrape the Freedom's like the V&H therefore I think I am going to throw the 2" or 3" extensions on. Not sure whether they are 2 or 3 been in the box for about 4 years. I am going to need that extra ground clearance also

Have a look at this pic I found.

They do look good, I would have them if the scoop allowed for them to fit.

Scraping pegs is one thing, scraping exhaust is something completely different. If you’re causing the kind of damage Badbluraider is (see pic) you’d better be careful or when you’re leaning it over that far and an engine guard scrapes, if you continue to push, loosing traction is a very real possibility. Think of it as a pivot point, then imagine how little tire is in contact with the ground at those lean angles. It wouldn’t take much to make one of those wheels light. Just be cautious is all I’m really trying to say.

My 3" fork spacers arrived today got them polished and ready to install, these are made out of Stainless steel
