Replace the stock pipes (like everyone else does). You'll gain MUCH
clearance no matter which brand you purchase..

watercooled, dohc, 4-valve per cylinder, monoshocked, clip-on equipped,
full fairing, hypersports bikes!

Hmmm , they must have changed their policies sometime in the last 30 years .
My 76 FLH still has it's owners manual ...
Have you ever heard of shock preload ? Look on the bottom of the rear
shocks , see those little cam thingies ? You can turn them to preload the
springs for 2-up or solo riding !
Really !

Check the preload on the rear shocks.
Crank it up to the max. The stock shocks are too soft.

<wun.DeleteThis@wicked-uncle-nigel.me.uk> saying something like:

Sure. First, cut out the offending part and throw it away. Then replace
the other parts with something with International Harvester on the side.

If you don't want to undertake such radical surgery, there must be a
stiffer spring and damper available.
