2012 Softail Slim

Hey folks, got this 2012 Softail Slim...
Ive added around 50 or so parts to it since Ive got it.
This is my first post on this bike, and was just wanting to share a few photos.

I was wondering also if any other FLS owners have changed out their front springs to the Progressive monotube option available?

I bought some progressive rear adjustable dampening and lowering shocks and the monotube front suspension but they are not installed as of yet.

Looks great Blaze. What engine guard is that and where did you get it? Thanks.

Thanks Slim Rich, I bought it off Ebay from a vendor here in Dallas...cant remember the Ebay name but if I remember correct it was like 130 shipped and is the nostalgic type guard 1.25 width if im not mistaken.
p.s. One thing I did discover is that if you plan on moving the floorboards forward from the stock position OR decided to go with longer shift and brake control arms you wont be able to use the engine guard as clearance becomes an issue
Hope that helps :-)
