Talking New Slim owner. W/?s

Test rode A slim today and a fatboy Lo and left a deposit on the slim Flat black
picking it up tomorrow!!! Wo ho
Ok here are the ?s Will a blackline seat and pillion work on a slim? How about a fatboy lo seat and pillion? need a bit more coverage in the seat by rear cylinder rocker box cover a bit of heat? I will also go with the shields heat deflectors any recommendations for after market seats?

Also where can I get Bowman sissy bar and will I need a fueler with a complete exhaust change out and aircleaner (stage1). Recommendations?

Exhaust ?
Thinking V&H Big radius 2-2 or the Bassanni road rage 2 2to1 or a V&H propipe

I plan on posting pics tomorrow afternoon

Take a deep breath. Check out exhausts that will fit the old school look of the bike. The Big Radius is so common. Check out a Fatcat or Lowcat by D&D.

Thank you, I have been a big fan of the straight shots But they may not work?

Lots of Qs; I put V&H short shots on mine, great performance, great looks, awesome sound. Bowman sells his bars on eBay; I hate stock MoCo seats, I went with the Corbin. Always had LePeras on my RoadKings, but alas they aren't making a Slim seat.

My leg was taking a bit of heat on my slim until the stage 1 was done. Runs much cooler now.

Just ran into this exhaust in another thread and saw a pic of it on a Slim. I think it looks great. Congrats on the new Slim.
