Congrats on your new Slim. My buddy has a new red one and loves it. Seems like every time we ride some one comes up to say how cool his bike looks.

I have gotten a quote for wheels pulley and rotors all Harley, looking at the six spoke

Is anyone able to photo shop these six spoke onto a slim?
And is anyone running a factory Blackline seat on a slim? how is it?
Or going for twice the money with RSD's Black ops boss or Diesel? Thoughts

What size wheels are you wanting to run? Due to the slims smaller swing arm and such you need to make sure you get properly fitted wheels. I personally really like the RSD diesel black ops but those are quite pricey. That's your call.

A lot of people have used the blackline seat with success. Also check out Danny Gray seats, mustang seats, and Corbin. All three of those companies offer something a little different. Be sure to check this thread out as well https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...-the-pics.html

That will have a lot of basic answers for you!
