| I sat on coolhandluke's bike last weekend. Really liked his heel blades.
My question of anyone with them is if they cause clearance issues.
I occasionally drag my tip overs and am worried that they will drag before the tip overs hit.
Any thoughts????? |

| I have not drug mine yet. They do attach to the floor boards and the floor boards pivot up. I have dropped mine in the parking lot with no damage. Underpower , I have not heard any reports one way or the other. |

| I have not dragged mine. But I only use mine when on the highway with no big twisties. If sharp turns are coming up I just kick them in. I am happy with them. The do not detract from the looks of the bike and add an alternative riding position so I can stretch on the long rides. |

| What little I saw of them, they did not seem to hang that much lower than the tip overs.
Just road 1,200 miles to North Carolina, would have been great to use them on the highway, then kick them in for the twisties,
then pop them out for the 1,200 mile trip back.
So any downside to them at all?

| Not that I've found. I guess the inner legs get warm as you use them because of engine heat. But I like them. |

| Engine heat on a Vision, you must be joking? |
