Hi guys,

I've got a 2014 softail slim. I knew the running boards would scrap but I'm actually hitting down on their mounting brackets and loosing contact between tyre and bitumen. 

Would fitting some 4" overs sort my problem without creating any other unforeseen issues and if so where would you look to purchase them?

thanks everyone!

Slow down, That will fix it and costs nothing otherwise you should have bought a different model like a softail standard or a dyna that have much more clearance.

Not much help now but this may have helped before.

Try some better springs in the front and better shocks in the rear, front ones first as they are closest to the floorboards and are as soft as marshmellows, so they compress too easily from the cornering forces reducing your cornering clearance. Basically they are rubbish.

Put some Intiminators in there as well and the brake dive will disappear as well, it will  have you thinging your riding a different bike. Nice bikes the slims.
