Default New Softail Slim
After busting my hump I had finally completed my Iron 883 to my likings. Had every mod that made it mine then someone stole it. I loved that sporty but I couldn't bring myself to doing it all over again. Today I pulled the trigger on a 14 Softail Slim. I test rode the Dyna but was blown away by the ride of the Softail. This thing rides so damn smooth. It's too quiet and my next mod will be exhaust etc.

I bought my Slim last year. Best Harley I ever owned. Its like a blank slate. You can go full retro or any direction you want to make it your own. Have fun. The more you ride it, the more you love it.
