Harley Soft tail Slim anyone got one ? tried one ?

[Robbo1200ADV]

Had a look at a Fatboy and a Soft tail Slim at the weekend ( Like you do )
Had a Fat Boy in 2001 loved it , sold it 2 yrs later to get my 1150ADV . Anyone had ago on the slim version ? Looks Great , very low seat height but more a stripped down fat boy with laced wheels . Just wondering is all . Also looking at a Bullet Chrome and an r9T for my retirement present to myself Cheers

nearly 4 x the price of the Enfield Chrome ! . more than an R9T but such a lovely bike ! Miss the Fatboy I had more than any other I have owned . Sold it for what I paid for it after 2 years .They are so different to a WC GSA but that's what I'm after . The Enfield is really nice in the flesh , as is the R9T but Jesus this thing is Cool as Feck

 

[jackassdave]

go for it as our american cousins say if it dont work out you will never lose money on that model

just need to change to smoked indicator lenses, put a sprung seat on, dump the satchels and chage out to solid wheels.... blend in a bit better then .

...is what you really mean...

Loved my Slim and kept it for two years which is par for the course with me.

Like jackass said am 6 2" and found it fairly comfortable. It is low (one of the lowest standard Harleys) and the boards scrape if you corner at normal speeds etc. But that's not the point of it really. Fit forward controls like dib if it's a big issue for you.

Get some of that old metal you love collecting, what's it called again, ahh yes "Scratch", and make some. Win win..

a very good choice that man and then you can sell the glide and buy a cheap 1150 and you will have two bikes for every occasion
