Hey folks! I've seen the light and have moved from my Dyna Street Bob to the new Softail Slim. What a difference in the ride!!! I've already added 16" apes, Screamin Eagle intake and Samson Fishtail True Duals. Oh yeah, and lowered 1-1/2 inches with Progressive. I added some pics for your viewing pleasure.
