Photos: Softail Slim, aka "Black Betty" is home!
Yesterday was an excellent day, as I finally picked up my brand new 2012 Softail Slim from the dealer (rang the bell twice for my wife who encouraged me to add another bike to the stable). This is the nicest Softail I've owned-- my 10 Street Glide is still my current favorite as that allows my wife and I to ride two up.
Here is what I added to Slim:
1. Blacked out front end, mirrors, black levers, nostalgia grips, RSD gas cap, and a few other blacked out touches.
2. Stage 1, Black Vance & Hines Bigshot Staggered.
3. HD Tuner and dyno tuned (78 hp/89 lb/ft tq). Torque curve is table flat and hp curve rises strongly.
Other than that, I'm done. My Street Glide has plenty of chrome. This one will stay plenty black and simple.
I will post a dyno chart in the next few days. Beautiful weather in TN.
Regards,
Karl

My only concession to color on the bike are a set of red Screamin' Eagle 10mm spark plug cables, adds a nice flash.
