I understand you have great legroom with the post seat.

Comparing my seat it looks like you are MUCH farther forward and higher when seated.

I will try to get someone to take a photo of me in riding position, the bars are the perfect reach for me. It would be great to compare our bikes seating position with a rider on board.
Yeah, that bag was a nice touch. Great job!

Your bike looks fantastic. I LIKE what you've done with it.

The luggage rack and windshield are nice to have, as you say.

Thanks guys. I'm really digging the bike. After spending money on my previous Sportster Café conversion only to be disappointed by various things, it's nice to have a bike that exceeds expectations.


I have to say, I saw a comment about the S-Series being nice but expensive for a naked solo bike. It's true, but the 110" motor is a gem so far. Add the blacked out bits and the added features of the Slim S compared to the standard Slim, I'm happy I made the choice. I guess this is how value is defined.

And dont forget the floating brake rotors...
I've basically done all the things you get with a slim-s except the engine/tranny cases
and if I had t guess (I really dont wanna know), it's probably more than the cost of
the FLS-S. So bascially, its almost like getting a larger spigot case'd CVO 110 motor
for free....

I keep forgetting that. The brakes are really good too. I've never had stock HD brakes I was happy with....until now.
