Sold the Slim, I was done customizing it. I did take my pogo system off of it when I sold it. I am now working on a Springer Softail Classic. Harley #35 for me.

What kind of price are you thinking for the pogo setup?

The seat ran me around $300 alone, the frame pan is custom made galvanized. The Pogo frame was around $150 or so I recall. The ECM cover is from another kit and ran around $85. I would include all the little washers, spacers brackets etc etc to make it a total bolt on kit with ECM cover. Also have the tank bib that is needed for a pogo. I have at well over $600 in it all and tons of time. would sell it all for $350 plus what ever shipping cost to the buyer. All is like new. I won't be putting on my new project bike. Here's a pic of my slim with it all installed

I purchased a stock Crossbones tractor seat and pan for my
Slim-Lux

After some fat trimming the pan looks alot more "slim"

Unfortunately the seat is missing the bracket that the springs attach to so I'm going to have to fabricate the bracket

Nothing hand tools and a crappy vice can't handle



Lots of fat trimmed





Much more slim

First ride in progress so far so good. I do think my deluxe seat is more comfortable and I may make the seat move back an inch or 2

^^^ Bike looks great.

Your seat does look pretty far forward.

Being 6" I've always wanted to move the controls forward, I think with this seat, I can move it back to accomplish the same result. We'll see what I can come up with
