Some pics I found online of what I believe are slims because of the rear struts/forks. Food to drool over!

And just how is a fella supposed to go around corners on this?

I love the look, but for me, too impractical. Tough, to be sure, but impractical for dirt roads and wet weather.

My Slim probably looks weird in comparison, with it's butt up in the air and the front forks 2" longer than stock.

Good thing they make 'em for us all to play with! And ride.

You have a picture of yours you can post? Sounds interesting, as I like taller bikes. tp

I'll have to look into it. I am trying to get moved forward so I don't have an uncomfortable leg position. So far Iv got Arlen mess EZ reach controls to have installed but I think a short reach seat will be needed and would like to get it in Brown

Wow just took a look. $500 bucks! And that's without emailing and trying to get a reduced reach setup! But if its as nice as you say it sound well worth the money. Time to send an email.

I see your plate is vertical. I have a Kuryakyn vertical mount with brake/tailight that I'm debating whether I should put on. I live in SoCal and I'd hate CHP to pull me over and then start hassling me about my V&H Short Shots and non-DOT helmet.

Yeah I have heard the IL police aren't too keen on vertical plates but i had them like that on a few of my scooters and bikes and they have never personally made a comment to me...
