Default First HD!

The Softail Slim is my first cruiser but it'll look alot different when you guys see it again. I bought it today and left it at the shop for a lowering kit, apes, black levers, black grips and passenger pegs, detachable passenger seat, air intake and V&H Pythons wrapped in matte charcoal grey. I know the Slims are catching a ton of flak, but I think its gonna be a helluva canvas for me to start with. Any opinions or suggestions for future mods would be appreciated! Hopefully ill have it back by next Wednesday or so for pics!

Thanks. BTW, I had Ricor do some front end work to my bike. They are local and their Intiminators greatly improved the ride. You may want to check them out since Zion is already tearing apart your front end. Website is www.ricorshocks.com

Congratulations...I personally don't like the rear end of the slim, its why Im interested in seeing what others do to make it stand out. With right mods I'm sure it'll be a sweet looking bike.
