Here is my retro 2013 Slim I used a lot of brass to put the class in classic

Thanks, I almost traded it in on a deluxe, but I liked the black and the nostalgic touches so I ordered the fenders and made it my own.

Nice work, that really accomplishes a classic 40's look vs modern murdered black-out. I've been considering something similar for my 09 RKC. I really dig the Slim model, my favorite offering in the Softail line-up.

Hi All,
I have a 2000 FLHRCI, I had the S&S gear drive installed. So no stinkin pads to be concerned about. I added a white sheep skin cover and had handle bar fringe added with the white color included with the two shades of green.
Old school or not, she spins like a top and has my love.
I do hope the pics upload OK.
Wayne

sheep skin seat cover, raccoon tail and alot of fun to ride.

68 shovelking thanks bud, I'm really happy with how it came out, but I'm even happier with how it rides. The slim has a great power to weight ratio, but the best improvement I made was for my butt. The used deluxe seat that I added really extended my riding.

Up here in Northern Minnesota it's getting a little cool to ride. Just about ready to put my RK to sleep till April. New 36 inch Bassani Fishtails.
