Your Slim is looking sick!

Check out this video...No Slim's in it, but will show you how it uncovers the rocker covers and gets the tank symmetrical with the frame and seat.

Default More Pics please
F22...could you post some pics of what the tank looks like from the rear, the point where the tank is closest to the seat?

Like the idea of a tank lift, but what does it look like without the tank being stretched? The front of the tank and the exposed rockers look great, but it seems that the rear of the tank would look odd without it being "profiled".
