How well do those Firestones handle compared to stock, Phil? And could you have installed a fatter tire in the rear?

Hello EvilEye, like your Bike very much. What kind of mirrors are on your bike and how did you make the Slim "deeper"? Regards from Germany, Ralf

My slim. Have some parts not yet installed; seat, mirrors and new grips. Planning out replacing derby, air cleaner cover and a few other parts. Will update as it transforms.

Like the pics all are sharing, gives me some ideas of things to do to mine.

Default finally finished the headlight nacelle
Finally got the freight train headlight mounted, visor powder coated, gloss coil cover on and round horn powdered and mounted. all i need now is to mount the shifter linkage put the 1.5 inch collars on and 14 carlini evil apes.

I love winter for the mods but hate it for the riding withdrawls...

Zedrx, I like your cut down windshield. Is it from HD or is it aftermarket?
If HD, which one? About how much did you cut?

Thanks!

Terry

It's my Slim, and I do love it.

Some of you, I'm sure, will hate on it, but it really does good double duty. I hated the tall windshield so I chopped it down. I still need to figure out the rear directionals.

Seat Question:
Has anyone purchased or tried the new Mustang Seat Wide Tripper™ Solo? I have a Sundowner for long rides but since I noticed the Tripper has a detachable back rest in the diamond stitch, i'm wondering if this can be my "do-all" seat.
