Default New Slim
Picked up a 2012 Slim yesterday (my wife thinks it's hers, I'll consider it my second bike)!

First thing I want to do is powder coat (gloss black) the forks and cowbells. Can I assume the slim forks are the same as those on a Heritage or a Fatboy?

It looks like a fat boy front end. I bet it would look sick with a road king light assembly.

The slim is a sweet ride. Congrats and the slim has the FL front end which is the same as the heritage, deluxe, fatboy, and so on.
