I searched for an answer about how crash bars might affect cornering clearance, but I didn't find what I was looking for. Lots of stuff about bars, though, so I'm sure the answer is in there somewhere. Please forgive me for repeating a question that's been answered if in fact I missed an obvious post.

So, how do crash bars potentially affect ground clearance? I'm looking at the Cobra bars for my 900, but I regularly drag my floorboards. The boards, of course, are built to give a little when they contact the ground so that you don't push the bike off its tires when they scrape. The bars, of course, won't do that. I want the bars to protect in the even that the bike goes over, but I don't want something that increases the chances of that happening. Anyone with these bars on a 900 have info as to whether they would scrape before I ran outta room with the boards?

Thanks!
