Default My Slim taking shape
Hi all,

My Slim is slowly taking shape. Last couple of weeks I got the new 23" Performance Machine wheel up front and just waiting on the 18" rear through customs.

Put the Bassani Pro Cut on, Shotgun Shocks, S&S Air Cleaner and TW222 cams in. Added the RSD Clarity Rocker Covers and some other little things as well. Danny Gray Buttcrack Solo is a great seat and the Motherwell Rack served me well this last week with a 2000 mile trip down to Patagonia.

Front fender has arrived too so I will mock that up this week and make sure it fits before getting it painted.

Still a lot of work to do but it is getting there.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.

You do know that your front pipe is not bolted on right?

That 23 on the front looks great. Like the pipes too.
