New Slim Owner
New Slim Owner
Started with my first HD in 2004 in the guise of a vivid black Nightrain, then onto a vivid black RoadKing Classic, and then a vivid black RoadKing which has now been sold.
Today I ordered a Softail Slim in.....................
Yep vivid black.
So although I have been on this forum for a while I haven't in recent years spent much time in the Softail area, so well er hi.
Live in the UK on the Essex / Suffolk county borders.
Which in a round about way brings me to seeking advice.
I have also ordered a set of V & H Big Shots which I will fit after the first 1000 miles. My question is, what is the best exhaust gasket to use, the stockie, SE or another.
Regards
Paul

I also have the V&H Big Shots on a Slim.
I went with the stock gaskets since I heard the SE variety were so thin, guys were doubling them up to get a good seal...
I even added a light coat of Permatex Copper, which will not only help make a better seal, it also made sliding them into the exhaust ports a lot easier...

Unfortunately I ordered it today but don't pick it up until Saturday 3rd August.
Took the stage 1 demo bike out today, looking forward to making a slim my own.
