Default Finaly got my slim..

Just picked up my slim about 1pm. The dealer couldnt get all my parts in that I wanted so they put on the items that had came in. Exhaust, air cleaner, and the 2up seat. They didnt get in the forward controls or my ape hanger. But its perfect the way it is. Im not gonna add anything else right now other than the sissy bar for the wife and maby some black mirrors. Its a huge improvement for me from my sporty. I dont know how to upload photos from my phone... help so I can prove that it happend. : )

I'd like to see some pics and a 'review' of the forwards once those are on.

Im not gonna do the forward controls. I like the way the stock boards feel. The dealer I got my bike from said they had never done a forward control setup on a slim. But there gonna have to wait and do it on someone elses.. so how do I go about posting pictures from my phone? Android. Thank you

I once read on this forum 'if there are no pics it didn't happen', so until we see pics of your new slim we will just assume it was a dream...
