Why I Choose the 2018 Harley Softail Slim

This video is about Why I Choose the 2018 Harley Softail Slim. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel if you enjoyed this video!

[@Jonathan-L]

I saw a Softail Slim for the first time in real life today. I love it ... the overall design makes it look small & compact (amazing what wheel size does). I really want one. One day maybe.

[@davidcampbell4130]

Im going to pick up my new slim this morning in Bedford Texas and i am beyond excited! Ive owned Harley Davidson motorcycles from 1200 sportsters to ultra classics! With my wife not willing to ride with me i just wanted something classic and simple to get back into the wind! Blessings guys!

[@RealLifefunny81]

Saw this bike, fell in love with it...hoping to be able to afford one someday....awesome video 🙏🏽

[@OneCycleClub]

Agree! Slim it is the most classic style and beautiful bike from new softails.

[@TonysGarage]

I agree!

[@scottynic2894]

I got a 2018 Slim with a stage 3 kit, black Bassani road rage pipes and it's a beast! Great engine, awesome handling and classic looks

[@j.n.jacksonjr.170]

I road one with Vance and Hines exhaust and open air cleaner, loved it , 107 engine is a beast! can’t wait to pay off my truck so I can afford one!

[@robtoma5650]

I Just bought a 2019 softail slim. What a great bike! I really love this motorcycle.

[@TonysGarage]

Congrats and ride safe. You have a great bike there.

[@twogungunnar9456]

All the new softails are awesome-looking for sure.

[@vetter847]

Uh oh. I did something really bad. I walked into Open Road HD and two hours later I walked out with a ‘Welcome to the Family’ folder. I’m getting a bike brought in from a Madison dealer... 2018 FLHCS... 114ci Heritage in vivid black. I pick it up a week from Saturday. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TonysGarage]

Congrats!!! The Heritage is a awesome bike really surprised me when I took it out. You are gonna love that bike. Keep me posted.

[@vetter847]

Tony Cox thanks. I’m looking forward to your Softail Slim mods and maintenance videos and can’t wait to try my new bike out. Still too cold to ride though; 34 F with 4 inches of snow coming tonight. 🙄

[@TonysGarage]

Man, this weather has really sucked this year. Just starting to get better here, but raining coming in for the weekend

[@tysonprior2587]

Congrats!!! Walking out with the folder did ya say?? I think you likely floated out with the folder like the rest of us haha...beauty bike man...that 114 is straight up crazy!

[@stephenmazurowski4196]

I recently found your videos. Thinking of buying a new Slim. Videos of yours are a great help.

Thanks for the follow up Tony. Liking the channel more and more every vid.

[@TonysGarage]

Thank you!

[@Konghulio]

Hey I really like your channel, I’m glad I found a page that has so much content around the Softail Slim

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks

[@DavidAdiv]

That’s a cool bike and if you like it you definitely did the right choice, The first time I try the fat boy I was sceptic about the wide tire and it was a bit hard to keep it in to the turns, but I went back to the dealership and took out ones more and it wasn’t so bad,I ended up buying it and I tell you I love this bike the more I ride it the better I like it, we all deferent and the beautiful thing is that there is so many choices, enjoy your bike it’s awesome and safe riding for all of us

[@MotoRickyRicardo]

Crazy that folks would leave you over a change up like this. I could understand losing subs if you had made a more drastic change like suddenly deciding on a hayabusa. Someday I'll upgrade, your point about RPM's on the highway is why I may move up one day though I may try to swap the front sprocket until then.

[@wooddawg4868]

Harley-Davidson did a lot of work with the M8 engine. Crowing about a 4valve per cylinder engine was way overdue because everyone was already doing it. The twin cam should have been dead 10 years ago, so it’s amazing how they went with a more maintenance free motorcycle motor.

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

Im glad you like M8 aesthetic. It's such a beautiful looking engine. And the knuckle head reference. I actually was surprised no one but me thought of that. The rockerbox covers do look like a pair of fists from the top down. It looks mean and aggressive and elegant at the same time. If anything that's what I would call a Knucklehead. But as things are, name was already taken. So M8 is fine. It's a beautiful engine. Personally I'm sold on the Fat Boy. I hope I can get mine soon.

[@harleyman971200]

Just bought one last Sunday, very happy with it so far. I started with a 1200 Sportster, then went with a 1340 SoftailHeritage, now the slim

[@GreatEgret]

I'm so excited about where your channel is going! I'm doing test rides soon and the Heritage will be one of the first bikes I get on. I can't give up my Sporty, though, so I gotta make it work financially to keep both bikes.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks, man those test rides will get ya. The Heritage really surprised me fantastic bike!

[@DM-ve8vb]

I went into dealer to check out baggers. Rode off on a 2020 FLSL. It looks retro but is a super modern, powerful bike that’s fun to ride.

[@MrCyclee]

Ive ridden the slim a couple times at dealers and it's a smooth bike it can get moving pretty quick too. I don't blame ya congrats dude

[@terrillwolf2552]

I just stumbled across your video. I ride a '13 Softail Slim which I bought new in late '13; just tuned 51,000 miles last week; I LOVE THIS BIKE!!! it has taken me to South Dakota and Wyoming three times (from North Central Illinois); up and across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; down to Texas for the Bring It Home Ride, and on MANY other long rides (plus back and forth to work a whole bunch). With a sissy bar and a sissy bar bag (plus a swing arm bag) this bike is a touring bike if you want it to be (after all it has the same engine). People are amazed at how far I ride this bike, but they have never ridden a Slim, so they have no idea just how comfortable it is. Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine. It's a great bike!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks, absolutely love this bike!

[@sportglidejim9001]

Look forward to the new journey, been there many times myself on topping out on mods. The Street Bob is another favorite of mine. I've had two Vrods which I loved and that engine is fantastic did 100,000 mi between the two. Have had ultras and S Glide as well as Sporties, I think your choice is great and that Mil 8 engine visually reminds me of the knuckleheads as well. As for vibration I really like that feeling, it feels like the heart is beating and feels alive. Take care....Ride hard or stay home😎

[@TonysGarage]

I agree on the vibrations really miss that and the mechanical sound still there but not nearly as noticeable.

[@pistonrocker7123]

Thx for share Tony 👍🏼

[@ChitownRon]

Great choose looks good.

[@renniesmith8073]

I rode every softail expept tge slim at a demo day a while back! Nothing against it I like the slim I just ran out of time? But I totally agree the street bob with the 107 is one of the most fun bikes I've rode in years! I really like it but not enough to give up my street glide but maybe as a second bike someday! I look foward to your future videos on it!

[@humoroustumor]

Been riding a 2018 Sportster 48 Special for 7 months and put about 8,000 miles on it. Rode to the Sturgis rally in South Dakota from my home state of Utah. 650 plus miles one way. Love the sporty but it beats me up after a long ride. So this Slim is something I'll hopefully be able to trade for come june 2019. That Sturgis trip really made me want a sixth gear, a bigger engine, and cruise control. Lets hope i can catch y'all on the road next year with a new Slim! Cheers and ride on!

[@11123DRUMMER32111]

Anton Roussev have you made the swap yet?? I’m in the exact same boat and I’m trying to decide between the Softail Slim and a Street Glide.

[@This_is_My_Story]

Great Vlog and thumbs up from me 👍 and subscribed to your channel. Great information and great choice on the Slim.

[@TonysGarage]

Thank you, It’s been a great bike.

[@jfee96351]

I got a 2013 Slim for the same reason, the simplicity, it is a basic big twin Harley, classic design. I have been looking at trading in, rode a Road Glide Ultra special, but I have a feeling i'm going get the another Slim, even tho it's more cumbersome to pack luggage for touring.

[@jimmansi1187]

Tony, well said. Even though I'm a Sportster fanatic I'm sticking with you as I'm also hoping to one day to add a 2nd bike so I'm anxious to see how things go with the Slim. Your comments on the Fat Bob surprised me, I sat on one & just melted into it but I need to ride one. At 55 comfort comes first these days. Good luck with the Slim!

[@TonysGarage]

Thank you, the fat bob just feels completely different from the others just wasn’t working for me. Others love it. The Softail is very comfortable the seat may need a change as with most Harleys. Ride safe and thanks for watching.

[@lawrencescurlock1327]

Just picked up the 2021 I love it

[@gunner9010]

I wish the Slim had full fenders and a big taillight. Nice vid!

[@MrBlack1272]

Cool video, Great breakdown.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks

[@randybergman6085]

Just found your channel bc I was looking for reviews on this bike. I dont have a license yet, very little experience, I love this bike and I feel really really comfortable on it however, well see once I can finally get a test ride.

[@frenchiechanel64]

Try sportster first before jumping in to this softail slim.

[@estebanramirez418]

I love Soft Tails i am currently in my 4th Deluxe im considering the Slim as well

[@80sruler]

I like that country road

[@1gigatitan]

But does it take you home?

[@chrisscharfenberger6007]

Subscribed. Great video. I liked what you had to say about the 2018 Softail Slim. I to trash talked the new 2018 model until I rode one. It seems we just don't like change when it comes to Harley's but I must admit....the bike is easy to ride and it looks GREAT! I will still miss the Dyna however. I wish they would have re-worked that one too and kept it around.

[@TonysGarage]

Absolutely loved the Dyna lineup was sad to see it go. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

[@DaveLeader]

I like your commentary. I agree with your top two bikes. I would have preferred the Street Bob if it had the 5 gallon tank. That tank is why I ended up with the slim. Picking mine up this weekend.

[@TonysGarage]

Congrats on the new bike! Ride safe

[@brodyglasgow3442]

I have a 2012 softail with some motor work done to it and Vance n Hines exaust, blacked out accents. super fast and super loud they are head turners for sure once they have cams done to them, mine is so loud and nasty I love softails.

[@timothydardar4909]

I had a softail slim 2015 its was a nice bike but traded it for a lowrider 2018 and could not believe how much better the lowrider handles with that new frame and the power is like your driving a sports car never had so much fun on a bike it's an awesome ride

[@TonysGarage]

I agree, Harley has done a great job with these new Softails.

[@johnnyblaze2257]

I have a 2014 Fls softail slim, i was riding kinda fast and while switching lanes the front end sis the mombo on my. I couldn't stop the handle bars from violently shaking and i side swiped a SUV.

[@scottishfuryfreedommedia1972]

I own a 2018 slim. End of last year I put 10k on it..Bought it april 2019 with 4 miles on it. I have it in shop now getting "Black Pearl" pain job & 16 in apes.I staged 1 it 1st week I got it.

[@RoadGlideAustralia]

My first Harley was a 2013 Slim. Then added a Nightrain to the stable. Sold both and am now riding a 2018 SGS

[@tyee4u]

Softails have always been solid mounted. Rubber mounts have only been on touring bikes and newer sportsters. The new M8s are still rubber mounted in the touring line up. I agree though the slim is one of my faves

[@tyee4u]

J95 I stand corrected. Thanks. I thought they might have been but the I thought about how much my kids street bob vibrates and figured no they can’t be😳. Haha.

[@TheMarvelous1310]

I subscribed instantly. Grest explanation, and it confirms that I would pick the Street Bob over the Fat Bob and Low Rider... But now I gotta ride the Slim too! All that black and those boards...

[@TonysGarage]

Thank you, glad it was helpful.

[@DirtyWellington]

I see that you did the 1275 kit on your sportster and the bought a softail. I currently own an 883 and I’m debating on either doing the 1275 kit or just buying a bigger bike. Was the 1275 just not worth it in the end?

[@bigalb8935]

Beautiful bike one of my favorite HD so kool

[@TonysGarage]

👍 thanks man!

[@04poppop]

There are two bikes from Harley Davidson range I would pick up. Slim s (army colour) and DELUXE.

[@bernardlesperance742]

Hi Tony, I'm wondering why the Slim was the last or one of the last bikes you tested if, as you say, it was at the top of your list aesthetically.

[@BobSmith-sl9sm]

Great choice. I was looking at the Fatboy as well but all the handling critiques have me looking at the Slim instead. Similar visually, cheaper and handles better. I'm sold.

[@pistolpete6321]

Great video!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching!👊

[@traeucity6087]

Although I am researching the 2019 model, your video was VERY helpful in solidifying my decision to get this bike. Like you, it was my last choice, initially. I thought I was going to wind up buying a Triumph, because Harley's 2019 models are too expensive, or have those damned 3.6 gallon gas tanks. There weren't a lot of choices when it came down to affordable models with a 5 gallon tank. Luckily for me, the Slim is not just settling. Thank you. Stay safe.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching

[@sajinsanand]

Any reason you think why this bike ie expensive than sport glide? Considering it has more standard kits

[@MrCraigDNelson]

I just traded my 2000 Road King for a 2021 Slim, I love it. Nice Video, Nice ride, nice roads too

[@TonysGarage]

Congrats on the bike👊👊

[@stephenmazurowski4196]

Please keep videos coming. I nam worried about reliability and leaks on the new engine.

[@TalismanRocks]

Can you swap out the foot boards with regular pegs? I'm looking at getting a Harley, but two things I did not like about the softail slim are the skinny front tire and the footboards. Any idea if you can put a wider front tire on the slim? Gathering I'd have to swap out the front forks too, but I'm willing to do that if I can get a wider front tire. I'm torn, as I kinda like the look of the fat bob, but agree it does not really fit in with the classic Harley appearance. Love the larger tank on the Slim, so hoping I can swap out the front tire with a wider one, as well as replace the footboard with regular pegs.

[@TonysGarage]

I think you kinda stuck with the foot boards wasn’t a fan at first but love them now so comfortable. As far as a bigger front tire not sure but it would affect the handling. The slim is a great handling bike as is.

[@ronwissinger2678]

Your right on the money in saying that the street bob is like a bigger better riding sportster and that's why I got one.

[@TonysGarage]

Street bob is a great bike!!! Congrats 🎉

Thanks, I am in Louisville KY. Should have some new vids soon

[@dkelli6020]

How did your hammer iron compared to the street bob? I'm trying to decide if I should do the Hammer upgrade on my Iron or just see about getting the street bob.

[@TonysGarage]

The iron was alittle quicker out of the hole due to its gearing. Street bob with its sixth gear was much better on the highway. It’s kinda a trade off depending how n what kind of riding you do.

[@JB-ur6zv]

I’m 6’4 would it accommodate my height?

[@phillipisaacson7944]

I'm not going anywhere. I get it. I don't have the "stepping stone " mentality when it comes to my bike though. I do think the slim and deluxe are the best of the 18s, and plan on test riding this weekend. However I pretty much just want to see what the fuss is about. No plans to change.

[@TonysGarage]

The Heritage is a great bike it really surprised me.

[@phillipisaacson7944]

Tony Cox , I can still wish that they would have made improvements to the dyna frame and put the M8 in that though.

[@phillipisaacson7944]

Yeah, I went and rode the lowrider, and sport glide While they absolutely did have more power, that was pretty much it. I like how the sportster feels. I don't want to sit and bash the new bikes, but personally, I'm sticking with the sporty. Still not going anywhere though.

[@williamtauriello1581]

Hope the seat on yours is more comfortable than the one my 2013 Slim had. So uncomfortable I’d have to stop and pull over before I needed to fuel up. My 2001 Sporstster was more comfortable! Of course, I had a 2006 Electra Glide Standard before the Slim so I was spoiled. That bike I could ride all day with no issues. Personal Best was 700 miles in one day. To each his own, I guess. Just ride safe and enjoy!

Congrats on your new bike. Ride safe.

[@badkatrising3918]

Tony Cox thanks you as well, subscribed.

[@yojohnny5]

So I'm wondering if you have ridden the Indian Scout? If you have, please give a comparison. I'm considering moving to the new Softail slim from my Scout. Love my Scout, but I'm thinking the Slim is a better all-arounder. Especially on the highway with the bigger tank, and I'm guessing more planted feel. Scout is fine on the highway except for the suspension really. And I'd love another gallon and a half of gas to try and tour with.

[@TonysGarage]

The Slim is absolutely at home on the highway. At 80 she isn’t even trying and super smooth and planted. It has been a great all around bike for me. Really don’t have anything bad to say. The scout is more inline with the Harley sporty. If you haven’t I would suggest giving one a test ride! Thanks for watching👊👊

[@MrChancebozey]

I too am looking to purchase one of the new Softails eventually. I wont be trading in the Sportster though. Thats a keeper. Looking forward to your experiences with your great looking new Softail Slim. I like the look of the Street Bob but the tank is just too small. Did you get a chance to test ride the Sport Glide? Great vid as usual :)

[@TonysGarage]

No, I didn’t sorry. Thanks for staying around

[@WillFurner]

I had the same experience. I thought the fat boy was it, until I rode the fatbob. For me the fatbob was perfect. It's in the shop now for a t bar and stage one. I love the new mono shock on my back!

[@TonysGarage]

The new shock is fantastic coming from an iron it is a big difference.

[@lostsoul3154]

I'd get the blue. The SS is the best-looking of all the models.

[@TonysGarage]

I think so also. Thanks for watching

[@6thwatergateplumber]

I'm falling more in love with that neighborhood you're riding through. A LOT of very wealthy folks perched on that road. I was looking at a 2020 Slim today. The price is getting me through. $16,995 Burgandy, but tax, doc, destination, and crap it's $20,061!!!

[@TonysGarage]

Lots and of horse farms on the road. I know you pay a premium for a Harley that’s for sure. Thanks for watching ride safe

[@theinfinitryda]

Nice choice. I personally would have chosen the Low Rider S, but every bike feels different to each rider. That is why there are so many choices. The Street Bob is the perfect starting point for a custom bike. The Fat Boy does take getting used to in the corner but it will lean over and all the meat in the rear helps the bike feel more stable.

[@TonysGarage]

Loved the street bob felt like a big sporty. You really can’t go wrong with any of the new softails Harley did a fantastic job on these bikes. Thanks for watching ride safe!

[@edwardwynne2512]

Low rider S was not available until 2020 but I am loving my Lowrider. I like em all.

[@srhintz]

I like the Slim a lot. Though I think the Fatboy is the best looking of the new HDs, bikes with those huge rear tires don't handle well. I love my 13 Fat Bob but I really like the new motor. The new Fat Bob is nice but not the same kind bike. The Sport Glide is closer. Not looking for a replacement any time soon but the Slim is on the list.

[@goodboyringo9716]

I would change the seat to a mustang solo seat with backrest, change the bars to some kind of short drag bar, change the pipes.

[@Axl_colts]

Cool looking bike but I don't care for the spokes. I wonder how mag wheels would look on it?

[@pmcmanus5971]

Did you ride the Sport Glide by any chance? That's the softail I'm leaning towards.

[@TonysGarage]

No I didn’t. Sorry

[@lapinobel]

Did you consider the Sport Glide? Looking into getting a Harley and love either the Slim and Sport Glide. Rode the SG, loved it. No way to ride the Slim but I think they're pretty close. Just curious if you considered the SG or not and why

[@TonysGarage]

The SG really isn’t my style of bike. I like a more stripped down bobber. It’s a fantastic bike but just not my styling preference.

[@lapinobel]

@@TonysGarage What do you think of the Sportail Low Rider? Got an offer from dealer for one with 7000km on the dial. Exactly like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6qzlXV7Z86oqNk Don't like the way the plate is mounted though

Thank you so much for this video. I'm hesitating between a Deluxe and that beautiful Slim. It is a bike that I would like to keep for a while so I need to make the right move. Two different styles Deluxe and Slim but thats the two I really Like. I did the Heritage classic I was feeling like in an armchair. The Street Bob as well very powerful but as you say another Sporster on a Softail frame. I'm same position I had a black denim Iron just sold it. Great motorcycle I had for three years loved it all way. QUestion are you tall ? I'm 5.9/6 and not sure this bike is too low for my size. Haven't tried the slim yet. Happy new year from France to you and family. Ride safe.

I am 5,7 and fits me good a little tough at stops because the motor is so wide. Can’t go wrong with either one both are really nice bikes. Good luck with your choice

Hey Gary, we just released a podcast about starter bikes. The five dirty bikers you can find us on apple podcast. The slim is alittle big in my opinion the iron 883 might be a better choice to learn on. I would go out and test ride a few. Good luck with your training and ride safe. Tony

Hi! Nice channel. I´m a new subscriber you gained BECAUSE of the Softail move. I really like the new ones, previous softails where not that great. I had a 2000 Springer. enjoyed it but it had a lot of shortcomings. Anyhow, hope you don´t mind some questions, I´m hoping to decide between the Slim and the Street Bob. Do you recall if you feel more In the bike on this one or the SB, rather than On the bike. If you had to choose again, taking into account that in another more recent video you mention you miss the Sportsters *Spirit* would it be hard to choose? I´m really puzzled with this choice. Any help welcome!

Tony, Ive been offered a 2013 softail slim custom,, 7500 miles. What has been the evolution since then ? any readers have any opinions ?

[@TonysGarage]

In 2018 the softail where completely redesigned. New frame, shocks, motor the works. The big complaint with the older slims was lean angle scrap boards very easy. Opinions are gonna very, but a good solid bike with a good engine. Good luck with your decision.

@@TonysGarage Thanks, a return to Biking after xxx years (old man) , I always rode sports bikes and LEANED in corners in the UK (90% 0f buzz) . So I said I would get a cruiser and love old low down softtails, but I know I will ground out and high side it ! Just planning my final accident ! Thanks for your input, now in Texas with no corners ! I need to do more research
