Default 2018 Softail Slim
Hey All, Just added a 2018 Softail Slim to the stable. She joins my 2010 Street Glide. I'm looking forward to sharing ideas with the softail side of the HD Forum family as well! Let the mods begin! Sorry the pics aren't great. They delivered her to work today as the 6 miles of gravel road I live on is still winter non passable here in Vermont. What a bike!

Sweet ride! I love my 18 lowrider. I'd have done the slim if it didn't have wire wheels. I just never liked them.

join "harley m8 softail owners group" on Facebook... a lot of good guys and ideas there.

I used a plastic panel popping tool. Then just cleaned the residue. Removed off my forks as well.
