Hey Guys, being this is everything softail slim I tell you a little about my 2018 Slim.
I lowered the back end 2in with a progressive 465 shock.
The rear fender is a Ricks 200er that dropped the fender even closer to the rear wheel without effecting the ground clearance.
The saddle is a Ricks base plate with custom covering from a local Upholstery shop.
I installed a crossbones rear wheel with 200mm tire.
The exhaust is Vance & Hines big radius
I used the screaming eagle heavy breather with aluminum cover
I had to modify and powder coat the precision aces wild rear brake arm to fit there 2028 model
Installed aces wild heal toe shifter
Bars are 12in Hell Bent by 2in diameter
mirrors are the HD low Profile
saddle bag is Harley Davidson swing arm bag
I decided to use the Screaming eagle smart tune pro to keep factory warranty
I went with the 2019 low profile black primary
rear brake light/directionals aftermarket
front directionals are low profile LED's located under the clutch and brake levers
license plate relocation plate if from DK customs
Linkage cover is from Kuryakyn Zombie Skull. Came Chrome I had it powder coated
LED's are from amazon. Purchased them cheap just to play around with after seeing a video on them and thought they looks pretty good at night
paint is a custom Black with a very slight blue speckle. You can only see the blue when the sun is really bouncing off. Tank has also been ceramic coated
Tank emblems are from a 2013 CVO breakout. I thought these emblems fit the bike better
Fuel caps are flush mounted
Grips are Harley Davidson Diamond Black
Anyway, this is my 2018 Slim. Im probably going to install a 21in front wheel and change out the front fender. I will most likely do a stage 2 or 3 kit as well.
I bought the Streetbob because I liked the minimalist approach to styling and such, but I'll be honest, after looking deeper into the M8 Softails, the Slim is easily the best looking IMO, and I wish I'd snagged one of those instead. They NAILED the classic, old school styling without going overboard and looking gimmicky.
Question though, to anyone who has ridden both the Streetbob and Slim: Which handles better? I've heard the Slim and Streetbob are the best handling M8 Softails, but I wonder which is better between the two?
Congratulations! I really like the Slim - it's my favorite big twin.
I actually went to the dealer a couple times in the past years to try various bikes (usually Fat Bobs) but I keep going back to the Slim. Fantastic bike.
About time we have our own section....
I have always liked the Slim, Finally got one last summer....
Love it, I added more stuff to it since my signature picture....
