Default New Slim

So here is my new Slim. Looking forward to seeing others mods. Not sure why HD doesnt seem to support this model as much as others as far as accessories. A hell of a lot of stuff wont fit the Slim.

Yea the two-tone is great!

As for H-D brand accessories, no, they do not have as much, but that is slowly changing. Aftermarket offers A LOT more, you just have to search

Great looking bike, congrats, and ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

Congrats on the new Slim! There are enough accessories to thin out the wallet they just might not say Harley on them. Really the only thing I've noticed is there are fewer seat choices but that's not always a bad thing.

Have fun and ride it like you stole it

"Really the only thing I've noticed is there are fewer seat choices but that's not always a bad thing."

Amen to the lack of seats part, but I think it is indeed a bad thing. I have a Badlander that I let the sales lady at HD talk me into (my "design consultant" good grief), that looks like crap on the bike but is comfortable, or the original seat with passenger pillion, that looks cool but is torture for the wife. BTW,
Still not sure how I let her talk me into the Badlander, she wasn't even very good looking.
