Frame dragging road on left turn

[JWScarab]

When im on the chopper with the mz, or maybe by myself, i drag the frame on the road on left curves where i have to lean even slightly sharp. Its dragging on the frame cross member brace right below the swing arm. Have others experienced this? Im 250 and the mz 115.. is there a way to stiffen up the rear travel?

Thanks as always!

might could get "Works" to rebuild the shocks for you. usually it's the pegs that drag first on the K9, never drug the frame except on a speed bump. certainly something that needs a little more investigation.

Agreed, either your shocks are shot or someone put on adjustable shocks and have it lowered too much, I'd never come close to hitting the frame on my 05 Chopper.

Stupid question but do the shocks actually hold the load?? Or are they just shock absorbers??

hold the load, and definitely sag with age.
