Softtail SLIM - Let's see the Pics!!!

Nice looking bike, like the pin striping an the two tone paint combination.
On lowering: I did it and regretted it immediately. The ride was harsh (especially with the spring seat you installed), but that was not the main issue for me.
Slim is already the lowest bike in the whole range and therefore has a very limited lean angles (24 right, 24.9 left). Lowering the bike further makes the clearance and therefore the lean angles even lesser.
I changed my floorboards for the simple front commands, but it did not help much. I was still scraping the foot pegs constantly. By the way I'm 44, not a "spirited" rider, and I use my Slim mainly for the short rides and city commuting.
I could not enjoy the ride, and more importantly did not feel safe.
On the other hand the streets and the roads in the US are much wider then where I live so you can ride the bike at lower lean angles, so you might not notice such a huge difference.
Hope this helps, cheers!

I've enjoyed Mustang Solo seats on several of my rides,
never disappointed with any of them.
