does anyone have a photo of what it looks like with the fork cover off of 2018 softail slim? thank!

 

my old slim

 

thanks! Does bottom cover comes off too?

 

Those lower legs are designed to run the covers. The reason being, on your style of legs there is no dust cover over the top of the fork seals like on an fxst. That being said it won't be the end of the world but you will probably need new fork seals sooner and you will definitely see the seal

 

cool thanks for that.
