I use a detachable sissybar and rack to hold the bag while I travel. T-bags make some great bags very well made. the whole setup is easy on easy off

I cant wait to see how many different styles of slims there are in the future
Plus one on this one. Mixing and matching part can be a pain. Can't wait for them to start making parts for this bike. Plus no matter what I do to my bike it still looks stock. :'(

Welcome to the softail forum and congrats on your new bike. In my opinion the first mod that needs to be done on the Blackline and Slim is lowering them.
