I love the look but its not for my Deluxe. I think it goes well on a slim. I too would love to see all the pictures I can on this subject. I'm toying with the idea of a 2nd bike. Its going to be a stripped down, bad *** 1/4 mile bar hopper. A frame, front end, motor, tranny and 2 wheels. I am wondering about the added weight and how much power turning that big wheel will take from the bike though. If you go with the kit I would love to get commentary on the install, pictures and thoughts after you have a few miles on it.

The beauty of a slim....is being slim! I don't understand why anyone would by a slim then get a wider rear tire. I love the old school thinner rear tire.

Why not just buy a breakout instead?

Ironic post. The slim is a nostalgic looking bike and i think an HL kit would look great but it would take away from the nostalgic look. HL kits always look great.

I've got HL EZ 200 on my Lo. Not a slim, but close enough with the slim tank badge.

If you are going for a chopped fender look, I really like the floating fenders. Looks really cool and hugs the rear tire a lot better that any standard frame-mounted fender set up
