Scraping the pegs

seestheday
Anybody do this on their Cb750?  I've turned pretty aggressively into corners but haven't done it yet.  Not sure I want to until I upgrade my tires.

I bet Shiny would be the one to have some input. As my grandma would say, he's the type that likes to "rip-snort around" on these things.

It all has to do with your pucker factor to get the peg to drag.  However, on these old bikes not sure it's a good idea.  Maybe with sticker tires.

I have scraped the pegs on a Golding 1800 and my cbr1000, but not the cb750 yet.

;). I have scraped mine, it think twice, on accident though. Got to going a little faster than I thought and had to decide. Go ahead and lean in to it? Or risk sliding out of the curve?  I have slowed down a lot in the past few months, though.

Its not worth trying to achieve. It feels gross and tears up your pegs.
