You said you'd be OCONUS for six months. Are you in the military?

We all appreciate your service, brother. Springtime back home will be a perfect time to put some miles on the sled.

Stay safe.

Thank you for your service sir and congratulations on you new softail. As far as customization I would suggest samson true duels in black or chrome depending on which way you want to go.

Congrats on your new bike- I really like the Slim and what people have been doing with them. Seems like a pretty different platform for creativity from a lot of the other lines. Thanks for your service from another vet (from the 60s). Stay safe on yr deployment, and on the highways back home.
