idk about all the negativity, just bought it in black denim! It was on the showroom floor for a matter of hours before the sold sign was put on. I think it looks sick. Sitting on one the bike has a low center of gravity and has the style i was looking for. Loved it as soon as i saw it.

To each their own...only thing that matters is that you love that bike. Enjoy your new ride.

Congrats on the new bike! Looking forward to seeing your mods and what the bike can look like with some custom parts and changes.

Congrats on the new FLS Slim...fast move to get one the day it comes out! I liked the ones on the website that had a few mods...the sprung seat and black pipes looks great, and I found I even liked the red one. Neither was in denim, and you said it looked great in person, nice. I noticed it had a pretty cool 'riding position' in the factory shots. Softails are always cool.

I'll stick with making my 05 Classic Springer look more 50' Bobber. New Addition to the money pit is a set of the RSD Vintage covers. $$$. My kids no longer have to worry about an inheritance. Question to black out a rim do you need to remove all the spokes or can they be meticulous taped?
