Great looking bike! It'll be even better when that snow melts and you can get it on the road again! Figured I'd let you know we just recently made a video about installing some ape hangers on this exact bike, so if you're ever interested in upgrading from your current bars, check this video out to see how to install new bars or at least see how some ape hangers would look on your bike. Safe riding!

Nice, i have the 2017 FLS. Watched your vid to get passenger peg ideas. I like the location, i have the V&H big radius pipes so i dont want the wife melting her shoes on them if i mount the pegs lower than yours.

One of the nicer slims I have seen! I agree about a different headlight though.

Harley Dave I went with one of the Daymaker knockoffs being sold on Amazon. I did do a bit of homework on it, and the brand I bought, Neverland, seems to have more than a few happy customers. I hope I'm one of the them!

Hoss TuLL The passenger pegs and passenger pillion are both HD brand, part#s 49110-98 and 52400039. I mounted the pegs themselves on an aftermarket bracket from Kuryakyn (part# 4334). The sissy bar is called the Buck Fifty and can be found at www.tophandventures.com Hope this helps!

Ed M, beautiful bike man! I also have a 2016 Softail Slim. I didn't get the S model because I wanted the Denim (flat) Black Color. I do wish I had the 110 engine and cruise control though! I do have one question in regards to the headlight. I saw on another comment that you ordered the Neverland "Daymaker" off of Amazon. Could you leave a specific link to the one you purchased? Thanks!

@jonathanbumbarger2789 7 жыл бұрын

Hi there Ed M! I recently bought my wife the denim slim w/ the stage 2 kit, short shots, and mini apes . . . she loves it!! We are thinking of added the passenger pillion for short rides together where she would rather sit back and relax but take her bike instead of my street glide special, she has a concern that the pillion will scratch the paint under it. Its going to be on as needed not a perm fixture. Can you advise had you noticed any scratching or wearing where the pillion sits when you take it off? Thanks

@edm3046 7 жыл бұрын

Jonathan Bumbarger The million from HD comes with this protective film that, when used, protects the paint just fine. The problem is that the film is a one-time use kind of thing. You can buy cheaper 3m type film on Amazon that I'm sure will do the trick. As for not using 3m film, I wouldn't recommend it. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I'm pretty sure it will scuff paint on its own.

Jim Eleopoulos The rear pegs themselves are actually Harley Davidson branded rubber ones, don't know part # offhand, but any HD dealership can help with that. As for the peg mounts, those were made by Kuryakyn, p/n 4334. www.kuryakyn.com/products/611/underseat-peg-mounts

when installing the sissy bars did they scrape your fender? also how reliable is the fit i need something i can put a duffle bag too

I am Albert I have since removed the sissy bar, and I can tell you that they do in fact scuff up the paint on your fender. The fit is super clean and strong, though, so slapping on a bag would be no problem.

Awesome bike man. I just bought one a few days ago and I, like yourself, need to bring the bars up a bit. I know you said they were the 3.5 inch (tall) one made by DS, but no mention of the diameter. Did you order the 1 1/4? Link?

@edm3046 7 жыл бұрын

Hello friend! I ordered the 1" diameter to match the stock handlebars. The description is "Drag Specialties Forged 1" Straight Handlebar Risers" and the link is here: fortnine.ca/en/drag-specialties-forged-1-straight-handlebar-risers

Ed M awesome! Thanks a ton. I like everything you have done to the bike.

Ed M my risers came in but they didn't come with a clamp for the top and the holes don't match up with the stock clamp. Where did you get your clamps at?

@edm3046 7 жыл бұрын

I have the Drag Specialties Handlebar Riser Clamp fortnine.ca/en/drag-specialties-handlebar-riser-clamps Note that these are two individual pieces, different from the stock which is one piece. The same website sells a one piece riser clamp, but they are out of black at the moment. Also regarding this following last link, I am pretty sure, but not 100% sure, these will fit our bike. Best to email them to ask for fitment. fortnine.ca/en/drag-specialties-handlebar-clamp-with-skirt

@rgarry212 7 жыл бұрын

Ed M found them. I got the two-piece scalloped ones as well. Hopefully they come in fast because now my bike is just sitting in the garage with the handlebars off. LOL

@jamesmunn9942 7 жыл бұрын

Do yo have issues with the rear pegs staying up.?

@edm3046 7 жыл бұрын

No, and that's because the kit came with these slightly-bent washers that act as tension. It takes a certain amount of pressure to move them, certainly more than the normal shakes and vibrations and wind of normal riding.

Harley Street Bob I very much likes the Springer seat, both in looks and comfort. I changed it out because I was concerned about riding it in the rain. I'd say there is a greater than 50% chance I'll be putting her back on within the next few years

I bought that swing arm bag but don't like how it attaches to bike, may rub off paint.

@edm3046 7 жыл бұрын

Fred KE8DKS I agree that the straps that this bag came with would probably rub unnecessarily because it would be hard to strap it tight. I also have the HD branded bag, and use the straps that came with it. I got it cinched tight, with clear 3M tape along the swingarm, so I'm hoping I'm ok 👌

@What_Fred_Said 7 жыл бұрын

Where did you get the clear tape? I cant find any. I screwed up the tape I got with the bag.

@edm3046 7 жыл бұрын

Fred KE8DKS I used regular 3M automotive clear tape that you can get at most auto stores. I got mine on Amazon: (Canadian Link) www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00WMTNVFS/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1496017298&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=3m+protective+film&dpPl=1&dpID=51BORfs26VL&ref=plSrch

My setup is NOT meant for any kind of sustained 2-up riding, that's for sure! It still functions as a 2 person bike, that seat just makes it impractical for long-term riding. But it looks good.
