Default My First Softail!

Hey guys, new to the forum. New to Harley!!! Just bought my first bike,
2014 Softail Slim! So far i've put about 500 miles on it. I have 0 complaints on it, just super excited about it!







As of right now all i really wanna do is get cruise control. Anyone successfully fitted the 2016 kit on a 14?

Nice ride! An exiting time for you for sure! The ’16 model has a throttle-by-wire system and an completely different ECU etc to support it, and thats how the stock cruise control works, so that route is a practical non-starter. Perhaps there are other options, but I cant help you there. Have fun being broke for the rest of your life!

Congratulations! Enjoy it in good health.

You mention being your first bike? If you are new to riding a motorcycle, please sign up for a local Motorcycle Safety Course... money well spent.

Have fun and be safe out there.
