Zedrx and jcslim did you have the front ends powdercoated, painted or replaced?
I bought the black front fork lowers and fork sliders and did the change out myself. I didn't want the bike to be down long so I spent the $ upfront instead of waiting on powder coating. I'll send the stock parts to my powder coat guy then sell them on ebay to recoup some of the costs. I did the same thing to my StreetGlide.
The kits are from Harley. I needed to move the license plate and tail lights to the rear so I can put bags on it. These are the kits that Harley has to do this for the Slim. I had Harley do it as part of the deal to buy the bike.
There are 2 kits one for the License plate and one for the taillights. They are $100.00 or more each.

Turn Signal Relocation Kit P/N 67800065
It looks even better with the actual License plate on it instead of the Temp Tag.
No I don't want hard bags. I want these leather ones or ones close to them.
I like the way these will look. I love the old school look of the Slim and I think Leather will add to that old school look.
Here is what it says about the part. It is HD.
