Just got another email from my dealer. Everything is installed except the handlebars. Those should arrive tomorrow and the bike will be ready to be picked up when I get there on Thursday; worst case is it will be ready on Friday.

Great as stated above ready for the weekend. Just a little input on my end. Take it easy for the couple of rides to get use to the new bike and practice, practice, practice on the location of the hand controls. left turn switch, high beam switch and horn button. Hit the turn signal and/or the high beam switch several times going for the horn button... lol...
Ride safe and watch out for the cages.....

Blake, thanks for your service and congrats on the new bike! Hopefully, it's all ready to go by Friday as the weather should be good for riding in AR this weekend.

Here are pics of my new Radioactive Green Slim. Had some work done: RSD 16" apes, Super Radius pipes, Arlen Ness Big Sucker, Swingarm Bag, RSD grips, FP3 tuner, Daymaker Headlight, Black flush gas gauge and fuel cap, and Mustang Seat.

@Blake: I have been keeping tabs on your thread, waiting for you to post these picturess. Thats a really nice ride! I haven't yet seen any Radioactive Slim on the HDF yet, you might be the first. That Slim screams for attention!
