Exile pipes would look sick on a Slim. In raw form not coated or coated silver

Looooking good, Baby. Looooking good.

I think you need a new seat though, with a 2up option. I love spending other people's $$$$. ; )

Nah, it's gonna stay a solo.
The OL wouldn't get on it on a bet, which is fine by me...
..and besides, I find the stock seat surprisingly comfortable, not to mention good looking.
I don't know how it would be for any long distances, since I tend to get off after about two hours just to stretch my legs anyway.
I have no plans to change it at all.

Looks good jam! I also see you've removed the frame stickers.
(I did too) Those stickers (and reflectors) are among the first
things I notice when looking at pictures. IMHO, they detract
from the "bobber" or old-skewl look....

Good job!

Good. Two-up seats look bulky and detract from that cool, Slim look, IMO.
