Default 2012.5 Slim MODS?? COLOR?
Just bought a new Slim, you either love it or hate it to be honest.. I just installed the following mods so far.. RSD Short Stack bars, Thunderheader exhaust, RSD AC cleaner, SE race tuner, new passenger foot pegs and new detatch seat on the rear fender.. Wanna know what everyone thinks??? and suggestions?? May even paint the bike FLAT OD MILITARY GREEN...??

Post up pics of your mods.... I haven't seen the bike in person but I'm sure it would look good old military style.

I think you have the potential to make one sweetass ryde. With that tire out back you'll be able to flick back and forth so much better that the fat tire bikes. Let's see some mods and get that shotgun on there!!!!

I like it. You're right though, it is a love or hate thing. I even like the bars which I think most people do not. One thing I would do is drop the rear a little. Keep us posted with the mods.

Great looking bike man! I almost rode one home Superbowl Sunday, but I need to take care of a couple things first! The bike should look great with those mods and the future mods to come. Cant wait to see!
