2018 Slim
Considering a new Slim. Of course I will be test riding new Softails, but I am looking at the Slim for a solo bike and used for short rides. I am not a long distance touring guy.
We have a new Indian Scout set up for the wife and also can be used for two up riding. It is set up with good seating and bags. It actually is not a bad mid size bike.
Owners of the 2018 Slim feel free to comment.
I am sure I will be changing out the seat for something a bit more comfortable. Also looking for windshield suggestions. Not sure the HD detachables are that great???
Probably be mounting a swingarm bag on the bike to carry sunglasses.

I love the Slim but the Heritage is the same bike with full fenders.
Get the Heritage with the 114 motor, remove the rear seat and bags. Get the slim handle bars.
Thats my plan, waiting to see the 19 models to make a decision. . Im in no hurry because I have my 16 RG ultra.

About your only options for seats right now are Saddleman and Harley. Mustang doesn't have anything for the Slim yet. Seat is definitely on my wishlist too as the stock one makes me numb after about an hour.

I think I will test ride one of the softails today. I want to see how good the new frame and M8 is compared to older bikes.
Maybe a good idea to wait for the 2019 models? I do like the Heritage as well. Also like the Deluxe.
New models are supposed to be out when?
