    In my opinion if you add a windshield You might as well be driving a car
    For me it kills the experience of being on a motorcycle

      Agreed! These bagger boyz complaining they need better speakers on their rides reminds me that a motorcycle has a purpose and a car has a purpose, don't mix!

    I just traded my 08 Super Glide Custom in for a 14 Softail Slim. Most comfortable Harley I've ever ridden. I be doing my first video soon. Let the upgrades begin. I may try the Street Bob seat to get me closer to the bars. Thanks for your videos, I'm a new sub.

    Excellent review - narrowing my choice down to this. I like the street bob too, but the 5 gallon tank on this is more appealing.

    Love ❤️ your Slim. Spotless condition & a credit to you. Just the way I like to keep my bike too.
    I nearly bought a 2019 Slim as I love the old school look, however I preferred the extra features like panniers, cruise control, tubeless tyres etc on the Sportglide so I went with it instead. The Slim 😎 however, is still one of my favourite Harley's though.
    Ride safe.👍

      Can't you just customize the Slim in similar manner? That's what I'm considering doing if I buy the Slim.
      I know it'll cost, but Slim base price is $16k, that gives you about $2600 to catch to base price of the Sport Glide. Im still debating this, so any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

      vlag3 i have this 2020 slim only differences in my opinion from the sport glide and the slim is the sport comes with bags and a comes with radio. U can toss bags and put a decent radio and mini ferring if you wanted. Everything with Harley is expensive lol good luck 👍

    Have you been able to test the new Low Rider S? How does it compare? Really in doubt between this, the LRS and the SG. Love the look of the slim best.

    • @aztriumphster
      @aztriumphster  3 роки тому +1

      I have ridden the new Lowrider S. Its definitely fun. I would put all three bikes in different categories though. The SG feels like it has a longer wheelbase and is very stable. The lowrider s is very sporty but handles a little different than the slim due to the wider rear tire and inverted forks. The slim is in a category of its own because of its classic look. In my opinion the slim is best handling - shorter wheelbase and narrow rear wheel.

    • @lapinobel
      @lapinobel 3 роки тому +1

      @@aztriumphster thx, I have tested the SG (felt good), the LRS is planned next friday. Unfortunately, the slim is unavailable for testing but I do like the look of it (classic), too bad it misses things like cruise control, adjustable shock (toolless) etc. The SG seems the best 'deal' but I kinda dislike the modern look.
