"Some of you, I'm sure, will hate on it, but it really does good double duty."
I won't hate on it, man. The beauty of a Harley is you can make it exactly what you want and need it to be.
I'm sticking with a stripped down look on mine. Just my bag, Baby. Plus, I have no idea where you cats get the money to do so many mods so fast.
My siggy is the latest pic of my Slim. New grips, pegs, Spring solo seat, swingarm bag and VH slip ons with quiet baffles, is all I've been able to muster so far. But I have a passenger pillion in my closet and a custom ECM cover on the way so I can carry my gal and keep that spring seat. (Guess it won't be a solo seat any more.)
Will probably get some new black billet mirrors, maybe a LED turn and stop light under the fender. Down the road, when my Dunlops are worn, maybe some white walls. I'm interested in vintage tank badges too, but we'll see.

Hey Tyree. I haven't done that LED mod yet, but I am considering the dual color trueflex from Custom Dynamics. Scroll down a bit after following this link:

Bluegrass, I'm also interested in those Firestones. How do they handle? Which sizes did you settle on and is your rear Firestone tire any fatter than the Dunlop stock tire?
Also, I recall you having a sweet vintage tank decal on that bike before. Nice look now with the emblem, but what did you do with the previous look?

We just picked up a 2013 Slim this weekend for our second bike. I had a lot done to it right out of the chute. It is still at the dealer and we're getting ready to have a winter storm. I'm so fired up, can't wait for some warmer/dry weather so I can pick it up.

Just ordered these mirrors for my Slim:

Nice black and billet that goes with the bike, IMHO. And vintage/modern like the bike.
