I will admit to not always wearing out the middle of the tires first. I
try to keep the grinding to a minimum but it does happen. The floorboards
have a nice bevel on the edge. <br>
The Eldo is not known for great ground clearance but at least your riding
buddies behind you get a light show!<br><br>

anyone else regularly touch down metal parts on their Eldos? I have
5 sportbikes, and you would think I would reserve my spirited riding for
them, but I admit to riding sportily with the Eldo, as well. I am
constantly touching down the sidestand on the left side, and the
centerstand on the right side. I have ground a lot of the sidestand
foot away, to the point where I will be looking for a replacement now
that I am refurbishing the Eldo. Does anyone else have this
problem, or is something peculiar with my bike? I am 190 lbs, and
the same problem has occurred whether I use the stock Konis, or a set of
new Progressive shocks I bought 2 years ago that are 1/2" longer
than stock in an effort to give me more ground clearance. Any
responses will be appreciated. </font><br>
