I said I would never do it, but...........

It is all physics. It is all about camber angles and camber thrust.

I'm sorry, but I will have to call BS!!! Using camber thrust to negotiate curves on the highway would be seriously nuts. Not saying a rocket could not drift. Yet you couldn't do it in order to go faster around a curve. Stripes is correct, arguing with you guys is like beating your head against a wall. At least I can and have supplied pictures to prove what you say cannot be done can be done.

Is done en masse.

I'm not questioning any ones riding abilities nor trying to change anyone's mind, but I've got pictures of my wife and I at deals gap dragging a peg. I even have scratches on the corner of the hwy pegs. And I had that tire put on up there because the OEM went slick faster than expected. So are the traction problems because you can lean father than folding the pegs? I just don't understand.

YES indeed!
Zoom in and you can see the sparks as well as the wear marks on the engine casing.
Now and then the peg rails and engine guards touch pavement as well.

THATS true when I ran a CT was always scraping everything wrestlling the bike through the turns that stoped when I went back to CYCLE tire and then 130 and 140 front tires then the bike required half the lean angle to hustle through the twisties it was an amazing transformation TRY IT youll be be AMAZED and the bike will feel 200 lbs lighter

Since that Dragon photo, I have added one of those roller bead seat covers.
It has made it WAY easier for me to now slide my old ass off the seat and increase cornering speed.

FUUUK! Now you besides Bug mouth and Steel on my rather large ass about weight!
I be working on it as we speak . . . hope to be somewhat trimmer by RAA in July.
BTW - this was with the OEMs rear and front shocks and with all my cross country luggage aboard.

Do you know the difference between theory and practice? In theory they are both the same. . .

@1olbull is that a 140 on the front or a 150? by the looks of the fender clearance I would guess a 140?
