Default Calling All Softail Slims
Hey guys.. I seen that the other models have a thread like this where we can compare and exchange ideas about the Softail Slim or Fatboy Slim or Skinny Fat Guy.. I've seen some nice mods so far on the Slim on the forum, lets put them all in a one stop shopping thread.. Ride safe.. Waylen..
