My girlfriend and I went for a ride the other day and had to go across some railroad tracks and lets just say they weren't
in the best of shape. Should have slowed down a little more but went across them at or around 25mph and it felt like
the front suspension bottomed out. When I got home I looked over the bike and noticed that the rear tire had hit the
license plate. The Canadian Ken fender eliminator didn't budge, just the license plate. So it made me wonder if Im the only person this has happened to yet. My girl and I are both thin people, if there had been more weight on the bike it might have gotten ugly for us. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1247012703/gallery_11337_4495_15507.jpg

The exact same thing has happened to me when I put too much weight on rear and forget to reset the preload. Bend your plate back and add some preload next time you're riding with a passenger and you're good to go. :D

And don't worry, I would forget and have this happen to me all the time.
