I like the smaller tire. IMO there is no need for anything more than a 160-180. Thats what i still like about the Deluxe and the Slim over the new Fatboys.

Anybody have pics of two up seats? Maybe a sissy bar? It's near impossible to find pics of passenger setups. Thank you

I'm awaiting the passenger pillion seat and will be getting a sissy bar probably in June/July before I head to Sturgis, as something to secure my bag on.

I agree I like the tires on the bike as well.

Another question about the passenger setup...does the seat leave marks on the fender when taken off? Only asking because I bought a setof mustard seats for my sportster and I only keep the passenger seat on when my girl rides, and it permanently left two rings on my fender where the rubber feet on the seat make contact with the fender. And it annoys the hell out of me.

Thanks for the help

Just picked my 12' slim up on wednesday. Have 16 inch roland sands apes and VandH big radius 2 into 2 in black. Stage 1 willie G breather. Will post picks as soon as I can. Does anyone know where I can get a kit to lower this thing a couple inches in the back?
