Been surfing the web for a charcoal Slim with black exhaust. Have not found a good pic yet.

Without yet seeing a Slim in person I like the Charcoal Satin pic. My RK is vivid black so I am thinking I might dig the color change I know I love the pic.

I wish the Black Denim would have came back for 2015. When I get back to the states I might even try to find a used Black Denim instead of new.

When I wrote V&H they told me the reg length would rob the bike of a little low end torque over the long Big Shots.

 

Here's my take on black exhaust. It is very dull. Dull to the point where I am strongly considering removing mine.

I saw a Slim in the two tone black/charcoal and it looked nice, but dull.

Here is a picture of my Slim with black Bassani pipes.

 

Wow, I think that looks great!

 

Chrome really pops against black, but I am wondering with the Charcoal color perhaps black pipes would pop better then chrome pipes.

Normally prefer chrome because I always get black bikes. Might still not get the charcoal since I have not seen it in person. It looks different in some of the pics.

Your Leather Pro bags come off pretty easy? Just trying to tell by the gas sation pic with out the bags

 

There are cam locks on each mounting post, each actuated by a lever inside the bag. They come off about as fast as you can flip the levers and pull it off.

I know its a lot of digging, but hit up the Slim pictures thread... you're bound to find some fun things to look at in there. One thing I will say about satin colors, they're worse to try to keep looking clean than even gloss black. I rented a two tone gray and black satin bike for a day, got caught in a little drizzle on paved roads and it look like I took it mudding.
