I have already ordered, HD Street Stalker front fender, V & H chrome Big Shots with quiet baffles, Arlen Ness Big Sucker, HD round nostalgic air filter cover, black nostalgic hand grips, Hayden primary chain tensioner, TTS Mastertune 2, HD Sundowner seat for when my good lady joins me.

Probably have to get a fender bib to cover up any marks made by the Sundowner.

Will be looking for a way to move the foot brake forward and down, but want to keep the stock style as it suits the bike. I had it on both RKs but can't find one yet for the Slim.

The only thing I'm not convinced about at present is the front brake. It just seems a little weak compared to my old ride, or it just might be the demo bike wasn't as good as it should have been.

No shortage of well fettled Slims on here to give inspiration.

Congrats on your new Slim. I felt the same as you about the front brake but you will get a better feel of them after a few rides, if not you could go with a floating rotor and a Brembo setup.
