Well, I've been off and on here for a bit, but today it's official...I"m the proud owner of a 2013 HD Softtail Slim. Sadly..It's being built so I won't see her for 6 months till I return to the US. BUT, I'm excited none the less!
I got a couple options on her, and plan to buy some online and have the shop add them before I arrive.
I went with the denim black paint, and with the security package + ABS. I'm gonna change out the seat, add the mount for a removeable rear seat, Thinking of going with a pair of white walls to add some more "classic" into the mix. Was also debating on changing out the lamp to something that will show a more classic appearance..lol
Alot more tweaks will happen once I get her, engine, exhaust, ect. But I first want to cruise around for a few months before I start a project like that..lol! If I get stuck in KY I'll use the winter as my overhual time!
And your right, the waiting will make this even more worth it!
What else would yall suggest I look into for upgrades?
