I have had my 2017 Softail Slim S for a long while now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. First two mods I would consider is seat first, the stock one is a torture device. I do a lot of highway riding so the windshield adds a lot of comfort and reduces fatigue, especially since I am getting older...
"A torture device" is spot on
Nice bike! Thanks for the recs. I've already been looking at seat options, and grips! Also, is it normal for your mirrors to vibrate like they're trying to fly off? That what it feels like sometimes LOL. The windshield is a good idea too. I've been trying to get out and take longer rides before the shorter days ahead.
