I love mine. I even like the stock seat. I am 6'2" 260lbs and it fits me fine. I put 14,000 miles on it since last November and have taken many long trips including an Iron Butt(1k miles in 24 hours) and love it. Mine is even lowered 2" front and rear and has not so comfy(at first) bars.
It is all about being able to shift weight and fight wind for me and I have no problems with either on the slim. I am 45 and have been riding street bikes since I was 14 and it is my favorite bike(out of 7) that I have owned in that 31 years.

I am 5'7 and I used to have a Street Glide. I just wasn't comfortable on it. I couldn't get flat footed. I got a 2015 Slim and love it. It is so much more comfortable to ride and I am flat footed. We did a 150 mile ride last year and the stock seat doesn't cut it. But shorter rides its on. I think apes will be soon. I feel like I am leaning on the bars too much.
You wont be disapointed

making a lot of sparks....might end up switching to forward controls.

The boards are adjustable forward/back/in/out. On this pic I you can see how much narrower they are. I have it adjusted tucked closest to the bike.

I went with a stock seat from the black line Adds a little more lumbar support. Also have my solo factory seat at mean city cycles currently for the memory foam mod. Should have it back early next week.
