Default Lean Angle

Hello everyone,

I'm seriously thinking about a Roadliner for my next bike. Does anyone know where I can get lean angle numbers for the roadliner before it scrapes. Also I would be interisted in the numbers for the Roadstar and Warrior. Thanks for all replys.

I made a simple lean angle gauge for my old bike, just a round cutout from a cereal box (traced a small plate) then put a thumb tack in the center with a piece of string and a small fishing weight on the end of the string. held the bike upright and had the wife make a mark where the string was... leaned the bike over till the foot peg touched and she made another mark, then used a small protractor to measure the angle. Bike now is a Honda shadow spirt 1100.

Rubbing hard parts isn't a pretty sound, lol... havn't done that often, but the few times is enough I do like the twisties.

Thanks again,
