Congrats on the bike, I'm not a fan of the slim but it's a good place to start post some pics when you get it home

Shotgun shocks.

They're one of my next upgrades after the 95" upgarde on my '06. It'll be pretty cool to roll up to some place, hit a switch, and just about be sitting on the ground.

It too is like the Blackline....You either love it or hate it....It too is a perfect blank canvas that is stripped down so you can take it in whatever direction you feel like taking it.. Enjoy, post pictures of progress....and Love doing it

Hell, I've rode like that a time or two. Really got some looks riding by the "Low Rider" show. Word of caution, you may not want to release the air in lots of loose dust unless you don't mind a dusty bike.

congrads,

Make it yours and you will always be happy on it. Ride a lot, and watch out for the a$$holes out there.

I don't even know what a slim is but apparently it's a softail so it can't be bad. Congrats! Enjoy your bike. If I had to choose one state in the country to ride in, Utah would be it. I've been in every one of 'em.
