THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE RIDING THE BIKE AND TURN RIGHT THE LEAN OF THE MOTORCYCLE WILL CAUSE THE OPERATORS RIGHT HAND SIDE FLOORBOARD REAR SUPPORT BRAKET TO SCRAPE THE GROUND.  THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE FOOT PEDAL CONTROL FOR THE REAR BRAKE.  I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHERE THE BRAKET WOULD CATCH ON AN RREGULARITY IN THE PAVEMENT CAUSING THE BIKE TO JUMP AND ALMOST THROWING ME OFF.  I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AT THE FIRST AND SECOND SERVICE OF THE BIKE AND THE DEALER SIMPLY SET THE RIDE HEIGHT TO A HIGHER POSITION, THE BRACKET STILL.  I HAVE HEARD THAT ONE RIDER WAS THROWN FROM HIS MOTORCYCLE AT 65 MPH BECAUSE OF THIS AND HE WON A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER.  THE 1999 MODEL HAD 1100  PRODUCED AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE 2000 MODEL YEAR ABOUT 1250 HAVE THE SAME DEFECT.  THE ENGINEERING FOR THE FLOORBOARD BRACKET IS A BAD DESIGN.  THE MANUFACTURER HAS PRODUCED THREE FLOORBOARD RELOCATION KITS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND MY DEALER HAS INDICATED IT WILL COST ME OVER $500 IN PARTS TO CORRECT.  I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THEMANUFACTURER CORRECT SOMETHING THAT THEY ENGINEERED IMPROPERLY.  THESE WERE $25,000 MOTORCYCLES AND THE ADVERTISING CLAIMS THE BEST ENGINEERING.  THEY HAVE ALREADY DESIGNED KITS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH PROVES THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT NEEDS CORRECTION. PLEASE STOP THE RIP-OFF AND KEEP US ON TWO WHEELS SAFE ALSO.  P.S.
