Dropped my bike today. I decided to take a few measurements while it was down. It's a 98 standard with 12.5" rear shocks. I made a tip over protection frame to protect the hard bags and have fold up highway pegs with hardware that drags along with the tip over frame just as the foot peg lean indicators hit, a little more than an 1" before the engine guard hits. I measured a 45 degree lean angle with the front wheel at full lock if anyone is interested. I was surprised, picking it up was not too bad.

Wow!!  Looks like you do great work in your construction of the "trip over protection" for your hard bags.

Thanks for the pic's..

Okay-  That's right where the footpegs hit, it looks like?    I get mine over that far at times, although I try not to.

I hate to be a contrarian here. But, I’ll give my opinion regardless.

There are many times I’ve leaned that much (and more) in the course of riding.
1) I’d hate to grind down those Hiway mounts.
2) I’d hate to unload the bike in a corner with just that lean.
3) I’m not that worried about how easy the bike is to lift up if I tip it over.

Pictures are really good but the kick stand wasn't touching down. My modifications would definitely be restrictive to anyone who really rides the fat lady. I found this post from 2014 that's a really good read and has some cool pictures of full lean cornering.

I'm 71 and 5'-4" started riding a small triumph when I turned 64, then got a VTX1300, 3 years ago. I've been struggling riding the Valk two up. After zipping around 1 up it surprises me with my wife on board both stopping and low speed maneuvers. I worked on my low speed skills, but also landed on riding like she's on the bike all the time. Now I do all maneuvers in first gear with the bike pretty straight up and don't start to lean turn accelerate until I can commit my head (after checking traffic both ways). The cool thing about the Valk is it turns so easily starting a roll through turn a little later never seems to be an issue; at worst pull in the clutch tap the brake and pop 2nd and she's right in tight.   I also road when I was in my 20's. Then I did drag hard parts. Now I prefer to look at the pictures.

Put some magnesium sliders on the corners.

Run the Tail of the Dragon with your buddies behind you filming the spark show.

Profit.
