    Crap. Rookie sportbike to cruiser mistake has seen me lean too far and scratch my Vance and Hines 2 into 1's. Can the heat shields alone be bought anywhere or is it now just a badge of honour I've got to live with? I don't imagine I'm the first to ask this, but I can't find it anywhere in the forums. Cheers in advance.

    You will get used to it, save your money, I have fucked every set I have owned, un noticeable unless you get down and look for it
    or maybe you can sometimes see it while on the side stand.

    That really made me smile. Thanks man. I'll shove my hard earned into some apes or something instead.

    Think of it as a battle scar or badge of honour.  Save your cash for suspension upgrades :)

    Keep 'em on Jacked. When some dickhead bags you for having chicken-strips show them the scars. 
    Both sides of my new FLHX are now wearing the scars, shit happens, badge of honour mate!
