This would be my guess . It would not be a direct bolt on for your Slim. You would probably need to change the bearings.
You may also run into the problem that the wheel would not be centered. You might have to do some custom spacers or have the wheel trued and relaced to be centered in your Slims front end. Or you could use your hub and have it laced to that 21 hoop.
Sorry nothing concrete from me. But I would be very surprised if it worked out perfectly. Good Luck

I can take more pix and send them to you if you're actually intrested in the wheel.
They are profile wheels, so the rims are completly smooth, no ridge. Sweet looking.

The Night Train wheel will not be centered in your front end. I put a 09 Night Train wheel on my 2010 Deluxe. Bolted right up and worked fine but looked like crap because I was not centered.
The FX and FL front ends have a different offset. I had to relace the hoop of the wheel 1/4" toward the rotor side for it to look right. Unless the Slim's front end is somehow different than the Deluxe. I'm sure you will run into the same problem.
It was a direct bolt on, but it wasn't a direct bolt on if that makes sense.

I don;t think a 21" is going to fit under the slim front fender. Bearings in your bike are 25mm. That is 3/4". It is a 21x2.15 or a skinny 21". I wound't bother with it, more hassle than it is worth. I am sure it can be made to work if you want to invest time and money.
