Lou, my Uber driver this morning has a kid going to school at Cal Poly in the Aviation department. Says he really likes the school as it is not a Berkley type atmosphere

Basically, she wants a bagger but has a Slim because of the seat height. Friend of mine at the dealer recently slammed a 17-RG 3" for a woman the same height as my wife.
Opened a whole new can of worms, now she wants an 18-RG slammed which would be better than installing a ton more crap to make a softail something it wasn't designed to be in the first place.
She's got 2800 miles on this bike and about $2k in additional parts. Dealer offered me $20k for a trade in on a RG with heated grips, apes, slip-ons in Hard Candy - blacked out. Would cost me $10k to swap bikes.

My ex Baby Doll rides a Softail Slim. For her birthday I completely chromed out everything on the bike. They come polished aluminum stock. Got a good deal on all the parts at a Indy up in OK City. Spent around $1,200 on parts and gaskets, and did the installs myself.
Harley Davidson charges $3,500 for a chrome upgrade on a Softail Slim. She got a wild hair after she rode Pearl, and traded her Slim in for a 2017 Heritage. Our dealer added the chrome upgrade on her trade in, so she did pretty well.
