LTD owners, does your kick stand drag when turning sharp?
On my '06 LTD my kickstand scrapes before the peg does when making a sharp left turn. I am wondering if this is normal or if maybe I bent my kick stand.

YES! I scrape the kickstand all the time, it is very annoying and it makes me a little uneasy in sharp left turn situations because it doesn't even feel like I'm leaning much when it hits. I wasn't sure exactly what I was scraping until my son-in-law followed me on a ride and told me where the sparks were coming from in my left turns.

Don't think I ever have. But since Burkbuilds didn't know til his son in law told him, maybe I'll check for scrape marks...Nope, looks okay.
I swear... I only ride to save gas. (If you believe that I have a deal on a bridge for you.)

I've never scraped mine. The peg hits well before it does.

hmmm looks like burkbuilds and I might have bent kickstands. I always thought something didn't look right about the kickstand.
