Why Slim?
Harley riders have long memories. Ten years ago, they wondered why the Slim model had that name. With its wobbly 16-inch tires, it rolled on anything but a slim foot. The Slim, with its promise of slenderness, always looked a little disproportionate, if not chubby. The Softail Slim was a model for the 2010s. These were the last years of the Twin Cam engine, which was still available in the A and B series, with and without balancer shafts.
As a Softail, the engine rotated on balancer shafts, so it was B, for "balanced," and originally had 103 cubic inches, or 1690 cubic centimeters of displacement. Here we have a 110cc S version with Screamin' Eagle components, which means 1802 cc. Built in 2016, it is one of the last Twin Cams, just before being replaced by the Milwaukee Eight. Something you can and should love.
Some parts of the customer's bike had already been modified, which is the fate of every Harley. But we like to keep working on it. So we took the challenge of making the Slim a really slim bike all the more seriously. Our main focus was on the wheels. And because we are customizers, we also gave the rear end a total makeover.
This is not just a matter of taste, but a practical necessity, because what is so slim about the massive rear end of the original Slim with its sweeping fender struts?
Our FLH wheels are slim! This is due to their slender spokes and especially to their larger diameter. The front wheels are now 21 inches with 130 mm wide tires. The rear wheels are 18 inches. Their 200 mm tires don't look fat at all, but rather powerful.
The Dark Hopper owes its slim rear view not only to the FLH wheel, but to the entire ensemble. The brake disk has been moved back to the left between the wheel and the pulley. It is a disc from our Spoke series, whose black spokes could make a soup plate disappear into a delicate nothingness.
