Sweet ride. How loud is the pipe? Had installed a D&D on mine but it was hurting my brain and hears. Also can you share the details of the seat?
Thanks! The exhaust in my opinion is perfect. It's quiet but will bark when I'm on hard on the gas. BTW to me the sound level changes when wearing a half helmet to a full face.

The seat is a Drag Specialties Predator. I chose it because most aftermarket seat pushes the rider up closer to the front..this seat does not. It also has a layer of gel on top part of the seat. Very comfortable, has been on a 7 hour ride and it was comfortable. I also love the fact that the front of the seat touches the back of the tank.

I ordered 2" LA choppers risers, from KONQUER in BC. They didn't come with longer bolts so I had to pic some up at my local fastener shop. They recommended grade 8 bolts. The original bolts are grade 5. It only took me about an hour to do the install. I had to reshape the rigid end of the brake line to give me a little more length. Not sure if I am thrilled about the higher bar look, but from sitting on the bike, it feels more comfortable, and allows me to sit up straighter. They were only $60 Canadian, and I got to leave the stock risers on, with the nice triple clamp cover that comes with the bike. Pics to follow.

I am using my Wheel Doc to hold bike straight up. Great product! I use it in my garage, my barn, and my trailer.

Best bags for a slim are by Leather pros.

The reason I say Leather pros, is because they have the nicest mounting system out there.

If they didn't offer the black model I would be right there with you.
I just installed some black fork fangs on mine, hope they work at least half as good as they claim they do. If it ever quits raining here I am going to try them out.
I like that Wheel Dock may just have to try one out. My old body is worn out and the videos look like it would work well for me.

Still checking in living vicariously through my girlfriends SlimS in Army green.

She tells me she's finished with mods. I still need to fix the powder coat on the pulley.
