I traded in a Switchback on the Slim as well - seems to be a trend...

Congratulations on the new bike. I purchased mine 2 months ago and am really liking it.

You're not the first and won't be the last to fall in love with the Slim.

Nice choice. You're not allowed to have matching emblems and grips though. ;0)

I keed. Lowbrowcustoms always has funky grippage. Check it out: http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/c323/buy/grips/1-grips/

I wanted one back 12, no stock. So I bought the heritage & stripped it down to near slim. Just can't get slim enough.
Love the 103 hp
Enjoy

I traded my Dyna last October for mine. COuldnt get the Dyna to that just right place, but the Slim is so right for me, I barely have to change a damn thing. So happy with the move.

Enjoy your new ride!
