Brock's Street Meg owners: Any cornering issues?
Just curious if anyone with the brock street meg have any issues with clearance when cornering hard in right hand curves. While i know people won't be getting ZX-10 angles on the big 14, the bike does handle well. I'm thinking the lower fairing will scrape ground first. Just want to hear word from owners. Thanks.

Mine doesn't and it sits real LOW to the ground but as you said, I don't do twisties but for everyday riding and such, it is fine.

I'm set up for drag racing and I've lowered my forks 1.25" and cannot corner hard right without scrapping. My pipes are slightly dinged from doing this, but it's a compromise I've willing made.

Loud, but I've not had one single cage merge into my lane and the drivers where I live average about 80 years old! Downshifting on decel produces the most amazing sounding growl.

I have had mine a month now, no clearance issues at all. I love the tone of the Smeg.
Brock say's the pipe makes an extra 15-20 hp, I believe him

I drag on hard right turns but I am not sure if it is the pipe or the fairing but i think it is the bottom of the mid pipe...but my bike is LOW and I am a BIG guy... the sound is AWESOME a little loud for some but for me it is irreplaceable

I know you all are smeg fans but the Gen3 in carbon fiber I am EXTREMELY happy with. The Florida sun hasn't turned it grey, and I've had it 7 months. Not that it matters, but I bought a carbon pipe from another maker and it turned whitish-grey immediately.
