Looks great! I miss my Slim......☹️

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching ride safe.

[@stephenmazurowski4196]

Tony I want to buy a new Slim this Spring. I am enjoying all of your videos and getting some great ideas. Walk around video was great.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching Stephen! Good luck with your bike search. Keep me posted ride safe.

[@hrafnaskaisdottir2654]

Thanks Tony...great video! Your previous videos about the Softail Slim helped me when I was trying to decide what bike I wanted when I upgraded from my HD Street 750 last year. I'm so happy with my choice...absolutely LOVE my 2019 Slim! I added a windshield, sissy bar and saddlebags...so far. ;-)

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Tina, so glad my videos helped you with your decision. You got a great bike there! Thanks for watching and ride safe.

[@robbinsdw88]

Thank you Tony! We missed her, she's beautiful!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks Darren, not the video quality but got the job done🤣😂. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

Nicely done my friend! 👌🏻

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks Mary, pretty easy one to do.

[@tmontana213]

Finally! Been pulling for a walk around for awhile lol

[@TonysGarage]

👍

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Gorgeous bike man! I much prefer these type of walk around anyway :) Those V&Hs look excellent on there. I'm going to try make my own sissy bar for my Magna, hopefully it turns out not terrible.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks man! Love those bigshots sound & look great. Keep us posted in the discord on the sissy bar sounds like a fun project! Ride safe

[@TheGorillaBiker]

@@TonysGarage Yeah they fit the bike perfect! Will do bud, you too

2018 Heritage Softail. Have the engine guard also - with highway pegs that I rarely use. Dropped the bike doing about 25 mph. Engine guard scratched up. Knocked the close/lock latch out of the right side bag. Scratched up the exhaust pipes (didn’t have the bag guards for the back). Broke/dislocated/and or fractured every bone in my right foot from the arch to the toes. My foot gut crushed between the highway peg and the brake pedal. Sat on the side of the ride for one hour - and drive the bike 30 miles home. Engine guard good. Highway pegs coming off as soon as I heal enough to be able to ride again. My first Harley. My first motorcycle in 25 years. Bought myself for my own 50th birthday. In hindsight - I wish I would have bought the Slim. Then I could customise how I wanted. Would love to know where you got your sissy bar from. I got the talkest one with pad that Harley offered. Love yours compared to mine. Peace! Good video. Oh, the Slim they had at that dealership - was the baby poop mustard color. BTW - I loved that color. My Heritage is the grey/black denim paint scheme with red highlights. Love the color of mine - but still wish I’d have bought the mustard one. Also listen to 5 Dirty Biker podcast. Big fan. And just read through your other comments. My windshield has been sitting in my garage since “5 minutes after delivered”.

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Scott, sorry to hear about your accident. My sissy bar is actually made by Harley it is the non-detachable one not sure if they make it for the heritage. The FDB podcast has been a lot of fun thanks for listening. We are now adding a video podcast on KZbin every Wednesday. Check it out it offers some unreleased footage. Thanks again for watching and listening ride safe!

[@bartman768]

Yeah, I know what you mean regarding the windshield. I'm running '16 Street Bob, didn't want to take the looks from it, but here in central IL the bugs are horrendous for any evening rides. I also run the Sundowner seat. Discovered it back when riding my '96 Sporty 1200. Later.

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Bart, yeah the windshield is a game changer especially in the colder weather. Been pretty happy with the sundowner so far great seat. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

[@riskylimits3991]

Amazing bike my guy, I dig the windshield!!This channel is a real gem!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks man, I appreciate that thanks for watching and ride safe!

[@StanWray]

Absolutely stunning ; thanks ...

[@rayofdeath6604]

Really prefer this type of raw video style compared to b-roll and voice over 👍🏼

[@TonysGarage]

I can say it is a lot easier and faster to do🤣😂. Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching ride safe.

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

New sub bud! From saddle tramp stream and geared raven. Love your bike man. Beautiful! Listen to 5 dirty too man !

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for the sub and for listening to the FDB podcast! Thanks again for watching ride safe!

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

You got her looking pretty good brother 💯✌️😎

[@TonysGarage]

Thank you! Thanks for watching and ride safe!

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

@@TonysGarage 👍 you ride safe as well brother 💯

[@fililoboesparza5784]

Great walk around video. Was hoping you turn on the Slim.. lol I also have a slim very comfortable bike love it!! Mine is a 16 FLSS. I noticed you change the exhaust weren’t you’re running Rinehart slip on’s? My mine i’m doing A Stage ll and I’m done. 🤞🏼 I have a H-D Wind Splitter windshield on mine Slim and yes your right its a big difference especially a long ride!! 👍🏻 Well thanks for the video ride to safe and I’ll be looking out for a future videos..

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks, I was running the rhineharts just switched over to the bigshots a few months ago. Great set of pipes! Thanks for watching and ride safe!

[@skyking4501]

Love all the mods. But don’t apologize for the video. Life is not edited brother and I really like the impromptu video. The shade is great and doesn’t take away from the look at all. The fatigue factor changes with a windshield as you already know. Oh and I love the black wall tires! Pure nostalgic

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks John, I think we all overthink these videos nowadays trying to polish them up. When sometimes just straight out of the camera gets the job done🤣😂. Really enjoying that windshield never would have thought it would make such a difference. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

[@FiveDirtyBikers]

I saw a little of the FDB Tony in this video! That sticker collection on windshield must have added...50-60 HP easy.😆

[@TonysGarage]

I’m thinking at least 20 hp per sticker🤣😂

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Looking real nice, Tony.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks Corey!! Excited to see where that ironhead lands. Great series!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

@@TonysGarage Ain't no telling when that thing is going to run again. Going to be a long road. Can't to do my first motovlog with it.

[@ZackFirstPerson]

Awesome bike Tony

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks man👊

[@KrisHarrisnNeti]

S&S air-cleaner looks tough mate it's the next thing for my Fatboy. Good video by the way, love the bike.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks Kris, I really like the looks of the s&s on a M8. Thanks for watching, Ride safe.

[@kidmoto22]

Lookin old school no doubt! Where did you land with white walls? I think those would look sweet on that bike!

[@TonysGarage]

That are sitting in my basement just need to get them put on. Was waiting for spring but not sure I can wait that long🤣😂

[@colekirschenmann5464]

Wuts up Tony! Nice bike I got the heritage in the 114 love the extra passing power and hill pulling when my beautiful wife is along for the ride. Any seat suggestions factory seat is not doing it for me.

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Cole, thanks for watching! I have been real happy with the Harley Sundowner. My wife hasn’t complained once on the longer rides, and I been comfortable as well. Ride safe and happy seat hunting!

[@colekirschenmann5464]

Tony Cox I tried the mustang last year on a demo didn’t like it at all. Wanted to try the sun downer and hammock but they don’t have that demo seat available. Did you try the hammock seat as well?

[@TonysGarage]

Cole Kirschenmann No Cole I didn’t. They just had the sundowner available for demo. I tried a saddleman step up and it really wasn’t for me at all. Been pretty happy with the sundowner.

[@richarddavidson123]

Hey Tony. I regretted buying the sundowner seat after I saw your earlier review of the Saddlemen Step Up. Then saw this video with the Sundowner. Love the comfort but wonder if you are having any issues with frame getting scratched underneath or worn where sundowner rolls over the side of the frame? I know this is a bit OCD but hate to mark up a brand new bike with a seat. Curious if you got any fixes. I've been looking into 3M tape to protect the frame but haven't tried anything yet. Keep up the great work!

[@TonysGarage]

Hay Dave, some protective tape is really the only solution I have come with so far. Very comfortable seat glad I went with it. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there.

[@lm4tuna0461]

I gave ya a thumbs up Tony and I am not only a subscriber but a 2016 Softail Slim S owner! I hate to admit it but I’m not a fan of all the mods you did to your Slim. Please understand it’s your ride and shouldn’t be concerned what the opinions are of strangers lol like myself it’s strictly my opinion! The Slim’s design is one of the very few HD stockers to have any nostalgia imbedded in her. Windshields and touring seats kinda take all that away. IMO! Love your channel and keep the content coming!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks man, the seat and the windshield are for function only🤣😏. Wife needed the seat when she rides with me and the windshield is a must in cold weather in my opinion. I do agree the slim is just about perfect right off the floor. I have tried to keep my mods with that nostalgia theme in mind. The teardrop air cleaner and the bigshot exhaust I felt fit perfectly. Thanks for watch and appreciate the comment. Ride safe.

[@lm4tuna0461]

The air cleaner and shotgun exhaust are perfect! I actually kept the stock pipes and removed the baffles and replaced them with “Big City Thunder” cone baffles. Kept the look especially blacked out, and enhanced the sound at the same time! I’m extremely interested in the SE Billet air cleaner from HD now but SOO damn expensive! I also strapped on a “Air Hawk” seat cushion on the stock pillion and the ole lady loves it! Anyway Tony nice talking to ya and enjoy the weekend! Ciao

[@lowersaxon]

I think a windshield on a Harley is never an issue. On the contrary.

[@netshark993]

Man she's looking purdy.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks Matt! Your bike isn’t to shabby either. Love the heritage. I have a little bike envy.

[@netshark993]

@@TonysGarage you pretty much have my bike with different fenders to be honest. They're pretty close to each other.

[@danbailey1229]

Do you get any buffering coming up under the windshield?

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Dan, not from under but from the top I did at first. I raked it back some and it has seemed to remedy the problem. Need a few more ride to say for sure. Thanks for watching ride safe!

[@brianblair7852]

For the mods that made why didn't you get a heritage but otherwise the bike looks good

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Brian, I looked at the heritage pretty hard, but at the end of the day the slim just fit me better. I needed the lower stand over. Thanks for watching ride safe!

[@lowersaxon]

Brian Blair 🤫 Mods are part of that Harley affair, I think.

[@junixsk8]

Did you have those mods at MMM? She's looking sharp

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Daniel, all except the windshield that’s a new addition. Ride safe out there! Thanks for watching MMM 2020 will be here before you know it.

[@lowersaxon]

Are those sidebags waterproof? For me waterproof is quite important.

[@TonysGarage]

No, Thomas they aren’t. I haven’t too much of a problem with water yet but they are not even close to waterproof. Thanks for watching ride safe.

[@lowersaxon]

Tony Cox Thanks for you answer and ride safe!

[@darrenvickers1557]

Like your videos Tony, i know customisation is personal, but i dont like three things on your bike, for me they don’t keep with the bobber styling, thats, windshields, 2 up seat and sissy bar, sorry man

[@TonysGarage]

I agree Darren, 2 up seat is a function over looks as well as the windshield. My wife rides with me a lot so the seat was necessary. The windshield is just on for the colder weather, but it is very nice to ride with game changer on long hauls 👍. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

[@darrenvickers1557]

Hey Tony, didn’t wanna diss you ride mate, i have just ordered 2020 Softail Slim with factory stage 4 upgrade and various mods on arrival, im travelling away for a month or so and should collect it end of March, Can’t wait to give it a blast

[@TonysGarage]

Darren Vickers not at all man, mods are a personal preference that is what makes them so much fun. Keep me posted on your bike. Sounds like it gonna be a lot of fun to ride. Congrats.

[@harleychief7285]

What make/model is your sissy bar?
