Can't be much. A guy here at work has a lowered street glide. Looks a bit too low to me.

I have to watch how far I lean into a turn. Usually just scrap the bottom exhaust pipe a little.

Yeah, but you're not 5 ft nothing and don't need your bike lowered. I'll always have to watch so I don't scrape.
