Good looking Slims everyone!
I like the look of the HD spring saddle, but at 6'2",170, with long arms/legs--the stock Slim saddle sits me low, back, and "in the bike" which makes the bike feel tailor made for me. The HD spring saddle sits me up and forward, which is a cramped feel.
Other than Stage 1 (SEPST, black BigShots), my favorite mods clearly are:
1. Blacked out front end and mirrors
2. Lick's solo bag--looks good, excellent quality, carries everything I need for a day trip and overnight in a pinch.

My upholstery shop ordered the gel padding today so when I get the seat to them I will post a review. I like the stock seat on the slim and was told that it will look identical to stock after install but its not cheap ,I'm spending around 125-150 to get it done.

Cheaper than buying a new seat.
