Default Where to get stuff for Softail Slim?

It seems that there is not yet that many things available from HD for the slim as compared to other bikes. Where are you finding is the best source, and have you had any "fitting" issues? Show me what you've found and tell me where you got it..........

Got my detachable windshield, passenger back rest and pegs, and luggage rack from HD. Got my Stage 1 (V&H Shortshots, FuelMoto tuner and AC) from FuelMoto, and my Mustang seat from a guy on the forum. Be specific about what you're looking for and you'll be overwhelmed with (mostly) good replies.

About as comfortable as I could make it, given its low profile. Did 2200 miles on it recently and I was a little road-weary by the end, but all in all it was pretty comfortable. Gel foam is great.

There's only one like it.

As the other responders have asked - what is it you're looking for ?

"most" everything that fits a softail will work with the FLS. Where you
have to have extra scrutiny is the rear attachments as the FLS is
both narrower as well as the QD mount-points are closer together.

Here's a pic of my FLS with a few changes from stock....



hope this helps,

T.

How about hardbags for the Slim? I'm seriously considering turning my Slim into a bagger and the hardbags look awesome on it (can't find the photo on here that I saw yesterday of a Slim bagger but snapped them on my iPhone).

A batwing fairing, too.
