Default mehlbs73 2019 Softail Slim

Here’s a few pics of mine. I have 12 inch WildOne Chubby Apes on, the HD direct mount sissy bar, and Saddleman Gel Solo Seat, Pillion Pad, and Backrest Pad as well as V&H Slash Cut slip ons. I like the bars but am considering going with something more curved and classic to compliment the look as well as a gloss black vs a matte, WildOne cake out with their gloss finish after I bought these. Seats are all awesome, girlfriend says the pillion pad is actually much more comfortable than my Badlander seat on my old Dyna and that the sissy bar and backrest actually gives a lot of support as it sits up a bit higher. Love the noise the pipes give, no performance benefit at all as just slip ons. Looking for a two up compatible luggage rack to finish out the build, haven’t found anything out there so planning on making one.

I am a big fan of the S&S Cycles exhausts. They have a nice deep rumble, and you can adjust the loudness with removable Db reducers.

If you like sissy bars - take a look at Edward Richie’s bars on Etsy. He custom made a bar for me using the OEM Harley detachable plates. Simply amazing.

You bet! Pillion Pad is suction based but it honestly works great. I've had it for two years and it hasn't lost suction at all, girlfriend has spent thousands of miles on it and no give/move whatsoever. Kudos to Saddleman, they made a good product here.

Whiplash Speed Co. makes some great looking seats that are highly customizable. The one pictured below is the Gambler seat. I don’t own one but have read great things about them. I have a saddlemen step up seat and I like it, but it is very stiff. I have also hear good things about the Lucky 13 bars pictured below.
