I need help with finding a passenger seat for slim!
I have an aftermarket seat on my 2012 slim for solo riding. I cannot find anyone who makes an aftermarket passenger seat. Also I have the flat black paint so I cannot use a suction cup seat.

You could use the Danny Grey pillion. I have their solo seat and pillion on my Blackline. It is suction cups in the front, with a tab for the stock bolt at the back. It works fine on the denim paint, and doesn't move around.

From your pic, it looks like you have the HD spring solo on your bike, or at least the hardware for it.
You can indeed mount the HD passenger pillion on your Slim, even though HD says they are not compatible.
I initially did this with a Mother Road Customs special made ECM cover. I later found you could use the HD hardware if you're willing to put a few handtools to work.
So if the pillion is to your liking (my gal likes it and so do I but we have a sissy bar) there's a few ways to use it. Shoot me a message if you want details.

24v, that DG pillion looks great on the FXS. It goes nicely with the lines on the buttcrack solo...you can tell they are made to match.
