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!
Thanks for the feedback, Mr Horsepower. I've been to Serbia... the roads may be a little narrower. But, there are some really nice rides!

Nice looking scoot.

Where does the mustang place you in comparison to the stock seat? Higher, lower, forward or back etc.

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

To be honest I haven't noticed much difference just really seems more comfortable, that stock seat is terrible imo
