I just finished my retro "Slim build". Let me know what you think. I used all HD parts except the VH exhaust....

Default these might be to your liking then

Hi, nice bike!
Saw this yesterday, might have been posted before, then saw your thread and wondered if you might want some bags designed just for the slim.
I have the same make conventional throw overs and the quality is excellent.
I have nothing to do with either of the companies here, just thought you might like to know about them. The bounty hunter goes on a bit, but his idea seems to work, looks very old skool!
for your info.

thank you for the compliments. It is obvious that I am new to posting pictures. I am really happy with the bike. It rides great with the Harley apes, I changed the risers out for a set from a 2009 Screaming Eagle, perfect height for me.

Retro Slim, Nice job! Bike looks fantastic man. I have to be honest though, I might like the O.M. Flyer that's on your photobucket page just as much. That thing is BADASS! I'm a big time S.E. Racing junkie. My wife and I both ride O.M.'s and my son rides a P.K. Ripper. I've been riding and collecting S.E. stuff since I was a kid.
