Ultimate lean angle on a Rocket III Roadster without falling over?

[1olbull]

I’ve spent time and money to improve handling to only realise the goal is not real.
I’ve replaced standard fork springs and cartridges with racetech and fitted Wilbers to the rear. Now with an exedra max rear tyre and carbon steel inserts under the roadster pegs to allow them to fold up, I drag the exhaust and foot peg rail on the road.
The R3 roadster ground clearance is the problem, it’s going to limit lean angle before the tyre lets go.

The pegs (feelers are useless) and OEM or TORs exhaust are all too low. You can chamfer the peg ends off and still drag around a twisty and eliminate the chicken strip. The kick bolt and engine guards will drag next.
Adding Standard boards will get you another inch or more. Also 13 inch rear shocks will help.
Happy twisty hooning!

13 inch shocks! Not if your a short arse!
I lived in Oz in the 90s, what’s the kick bolt? Not heard that one before!

M8,
Kick stand frame mount bolt.
My 29" inseam keeps me off 13" as well. Wish I could use them.
