added the slash down rush slip ons with 2in baffles. sounds deep and loud. i am not sure if too loud yet but so far i like them. i also added screamin eagle muffler shields as they are a bit longer than stock and they look better IMO.
stopped by the railroad tracks earlier today and decided to take some shots.

I'd say about 35mpg also. My fuel light comes on right around 140 miles, usually has a gallon left though yesterday it told me I had 25 miles left but it took 3.8 gallons. I'm always confused with it, my range when full changes from 175 to 135 so I really don't have a clue.
Sorry if that's not very helpful. I try to fill up after about 120 miles or so because I don't trust my range or the fuel gauges (got the one on the speedo/tacho as well).

My Fatboy S is going to the Dealer again tomorrow, the second time the light on the left side of the dash isn't working (can't see the L signal or the high beam blue light). There's something about my Harleys and electrics!!!
Anyway I will again bring up my hard cold start problems. Last time they said my battery was just fine. I will also discuss the rims issue.

I get my Slim S on Wednesday, around noon. They are delivering it, because the weather has turned cold with flurries. I ordered the brown swing arm bag, and the nostalgic grips in black. Want to live with it for a bit, before changing anything else. I want to keep this bike as stock as possible. I am very excited, like a little kid at Christmas!
In the not so distant future, I think it will be Leather Pro quick release bags, and quick release windshield for longer trips.

I'll be curious to see if you can stick with the "keeping it stock" idea. It takes discipline (or so I've heard.)
