New models are supposed to be out when?

On the Softails, only thing for 19 changing would be the paint IMO. Unless they introduce a Slim S with the 114 and dual front brakes... If they do that, ill have a slightly used 18 slim for sale LOL.

If you are interested in a Slim and you find one, make a smokin deal on one and dont look back. I paid just under 14k for my 18 industrial gray slim in May. MSRP was 16.3k I believe. I would guess you could get that deal to move an 18 vs. waiting for a 19 which will likely not be changed much.

Also, stock for Stock for 2up riding, the Slim has a lower passenger peg hight then the Heritage which gives the passenger more leg room.

3 minutes to adjust the passenger foot pegs. They move 3 position up or down.
I like the full fenders and cruise control. Sorry but motor is more noticeable in power. $18,500 at my dealer( 114) not sure what the slim would be.
In short.. good
bigger bags that lock, windshield, passenger seat, full fenders( I like) cruise control, bigger motor and More comfortable rider seat.
bad
change handle bars.
