They are loud but not over the top. They sound deep and are a huge improvement over the stock cans.

That has to be one of my favorite slims so far.
Digging the Cam and Derby covers.
The whole purpose of me not going on the FatBoy Lo thread was not to spend more money.
Is any thread safe here?
Great looking bike.

Hey guys, i'm looking into getting a vivid black slim this week and I have a question for all the current owners. How much did you guys end up paying? I'm looking at around 17900 out the door. This is without the extended warranty but includes the security package. Is this fair, high, low? Thanks in advance.

My New Softail Slim
All I have done so far is put a small windshield on, with some tint, and I moved the License Plate and Tail Lights to the back. I would like better sound but I love the way these pipes look so not sure what to do with pipes yet.
I also removed the heel shifter, it was in my way.

I really dig the slim, but those factory rear signals are HORRIBLE!
JCSlim....looks great, what all had to be done to the Rocker seat st up to make it work? I am thinking of going to a "rigid style" fender and was thinking this would be a good fix for two up....thanks
