Nice ride.....I have a 2015 slim in black...I followed your sportster build...you did a nice job...I like following a build where the owner does their own work an it's not just throwing the HD parts book at it. I'm sure you will do a nice job on the slim. I picked up a '15 with 8K on it for $12K last spring. I hated the stock seat so that was the first change. I went with V&H dual's DK customs air cleaner kit, FP3 tuner, 8" Z bars an Avon grips....I'm doing cams right now. I have a Switchback front wheel an eventually will get a matching rear an throw them on.

going to lower the bike about an inch or so, my lowering bolts came in yesterday. i should get them put in by next week and will have pics to follow. i was having the issue of wind blowing my right foot off the footboards so i have been looking for the turn out style boot guard but cant find it in black. might go with the chrome one for now and get it powdercoated black along with some other parts of the bike
and my brake pedal pad came in from ebay.. was perfect and just as described until i went to mount it to my bike and it broke. didnt even get to put it fully on the bike and the part that the bolt screws into popped off. ebay seller sent me back $10 and i plan on getting my buddy to tack weld it back together stronger for me.

just to be sure thats my baffle right? i rode to work today. went for lunch... go to get on the bike and hear something rattling. i shake the bike and hear it coming from the vance & hines 2-1 high output that i have on and look inside. a metal tube is lose and rattles back and forth in there. i tried to video it but photobucket wont upload it. weekend project will be trying to get that out.

going to attempt to get that loose baffle out today but last night i gave the bike a good cleaning and detail. polished the oxidation out of the primary and other shiny parts using Mothers billet aluminum polish and touched up the scuff that came on the pipes from the prev owner with vth heat paint sprayed on a wet rag and dabbed it on.
