Question lowered slim
I can't seem to get any info from my dealer about lowering the rear. Care to share what parts are necessary & where you got them? I was tempted to order the standard Softail lowering links from LA Choppers but still can't confirm what will work on the slim.

Thanks,

Jokerman

Yes, can you please share how you went about lowering your Slim? Will/are the pipes touching down more now?

Thanks

Looks good, I also like the plate relocation how did you remove the oem plate mount ?
Did you order a right side arm and flip it to fit the left side ?

I still have the stock lights on there, hoping to find someone local that has done the same thing I did and would like to do some trading so I dont have to buy another set of lights. Looks a little funny from behind at this time. It took a while to unwire it and rewire it but was not that bad.

Here are a few more pics after washing the fleet.
