Hi, yep, that's euros. Taxes are killing us here!

I guess the Slim will be a much smoother ride. My Sporty is brutal, kind of spartan. But the shocks are pretty good comparing to what it was stock. I wonder what the shocks will be like on the Slim as they have bare minimum travel...

I have both '13 Slim/'13 Iron. With StreetGlide Shocks on the Iron, it
rides almost as good as the Slim. If you add a Shotgun Shock to
the Slim, you'll be riding on a cloud - if thats what you're after...

I wouldn't say the Slim has "bare minimum" travel. I lowered my
Slim 1.5" and it still has a good amount of travel....




hope this helps,

T.

Hi, thanks for all your replies. Well, I am actually looking for a smoother ride. After my accident on the KTM 450 last year and another one a few years back I'd like my road bikes to be a bit smoother after all. For brute force and rough rides I take the 450
