We're working on it. We just now are going into production on new bags for Sportsters and Dynas that don't require you to move the sigs (sporty pictured below) and the Blackline and Slim are next. Should have them available this summer.



Keep ridin'

I don't see a lot of exhaust choices specifically geared towards the Slim model. Anyone know what other type of bike exhaust set up will work with the Slim? I want to take a look at some 2 into 2 staggered ones.. V and H has some nice ones but they are pricey at the moment..

Check out directharleyparts.com. I just picked up the V&H big shots for my slim. They are the same ones from any website and cost over $100 cheaper
