Congrats on the new ride and welcome to Softails!
It's a good thing my dealer hasn't had a red one in stock when I've dropped by for parts.

Thumbs up
What convinced me on the slim I was flat footed with no mods!
( as I am vertically Challenged) and it had floor-Boards and the 103 motor, with very little chrome. After 8 years I was tired of all the chrome on the lowrider.
The handling on the test ride was impressive, I had thought of mini apes till the test ride for me HD hit it out of the park with the slim!! forthe future maybe 204 cams?
Planning on a new seat? maybe a corbin? and a detachable windshield and sissybar with bag for road-trips, Ha
