It's been in the works since January, but my Slim is done, with the exception of putting the heat shields back on. I am undecided whether to coat the shields black.

Oh yeah, black.

I would say black. Bike looks great. I just got a Slim last week. I love the handling. How does it handle once you change the wheels like that?
