I've got some red highlights on my slim (rim stripes and plug wires) and thought about going with red grips or maybe the kury red/black braided grips.
Btw that seat looks stock to me. Did I miss something?
Have you looked at the new white spring seat?

Looks nice. I've been running whites for a couple years. They will get dirty, but I kinda like the worn out dirty look they develop.

Looks good Jason! I like the idea of doing piping or stitching instead of panels. Open primary? I thought you were on a budget? You Slim guys are getting to be as bad as Night Train guys.
