Check out the Softail Slim "Let's see the pics" thread on this page. You'll find several examples there.

Here's a couple of pictures I snapped of a bike at the dealer, which inspired me to black out my front end.
(sorry for the poor quality, but it's all I have...)

Some of the photos are before I had the carlini's and one before the PC visor. You do need to get the different riser kit HD specifies $66 as the stockers are too fat. Hope this helps.

I know I'm resurrecting this thread but do you have a picture of the riser area. I'm trying to get a grasp of why the riser kit is needed for the slim. Doesn't the Freight train have a bezel that covers the riser?

The riser kit that is required with the freight train nacelle for the cover that goes over top of your risers...... to match your nacelle (wether you get the chrome one or the black version).

Ok. Now I'm royally confused..... The part number that I see that says is a riser kit, looks like chrome risers and top bar clamp.
