I just pick up a brand new Slim and want to remove the stock plate location.

I actually purchased a cycle vision relocation kit (without LEDs), but will most likely return it.
That's how they come stock, in the UK.

Do you just like the looks?
Or is it just cheap?
So many better options if you are going stage 1 or higher.

Another gentleman rider sold me his 2020 Street Bob seat for $60. What a difference on my 2020 Slim! Its a little shorter than slim but now i dont slide anymore. Puts me a little forward, im 6’ but im more comfortable compare to the stock seat.
heres the comparison

Ok I think I have touched on this question before , But lets try again from a different angle , I would like to change bars on my softail slim 2018 , I'm looking to go a little bit up and some pull back , I know I could go with the 4 1/2 risers with pull back , But I really wanted different bars and prefer if possible not to use wire extenders , Any suggestions ? with or without extenders.
