Seconding the Captain Itch crotch cooler recommendation. I unfortunately put another HD seat on my Slim where the bar in the front is VERY short, and it pops out if I have the cooler on it, so be aware of that issue. It is a necessity on this bike, for sure.
I had gel and better foam put in my stock solo seat at Laconia but it's still uncomfortable. I'd recommend an aftermarket seat for more comfort, especially if you don't want a 2-up or passenger pillion.
LOVE the white walls. You've solidified my decision to put white wall tires on my Slim when the time comes.
Edited to add that I have V&H staggered Short Shots on my Slim (previous owner put them on). I want something quieter eventually but they sound great (LOUD though).

I've been meaning to email Isabel and ask for a while about this, since I got the seat. But I just paid for a Danny Gray seat where the bar extends in front of the pommel, so I think it will be okay! I would hate to accidentally destroy the beautiful stitching in the opening when it's not necessary.
Honestly though, I cannot recommend your product enough, I talked you guys up when I was at Laconia this year and hopefully you got some new business! When I ride without the cooler, all I can think about is getting that new seat and the cooler back on. Soon!!

With a tuner like the V&H FuelPak 3, it connects via Bluetooth to your phone. You can download a specific map for your new exhaust/intake setup, or run autotune and adjust as you go.

Nice bike pal. From the pictures I see you bought it at Bergen County Harley. I live a mile from there and this past weekend my wife saw a slim with the same color yours has. She fell in love with it. Almost ended up buying it hahaha.
Nice job adding the white walls, looks great.
