I own a '19 Slim. I bought it new May of 2019. It's just shy of 33,000 miles. I still love it.

Best looking bike Harley made bar none. Love the floor boards, laced blacked out wheels, chunky front end with the 16" wheel, the contrast of the chrome and the blacked out.

If I could change anything from the factory, ride height and seat.

The stock seat looked great but was very uncomfortable.
The ride height looked great but was too low. At stock height, I was constantly touching down the floorboards.
I've since installed a longer rear shock, front dampers and a Mustang seat.
Power is decent. MPG is pretty good, usually get in the 40's.
Throw on a windshield and sissy bar and you're ready to go touring.
I live in NJ. I've ridden it as far north as Laconia NH and road it to Fla last December.

Love the Slim...

I have a Road King also. It must be a lot more easy to move around.

I plan keeping my RK and eventually take a road trip. You think the slim is as capable in touring with just the right mods? I know you can put cc on it so that checks one box right there.
