Harley Davidson Softail Slim
The perfect blend of classic, raw bobber style and
contemporary power creates a modern ride with unmistakable old-iron attitude.
"I'd personally like to strip the bike down even
further," says Ketterhagen, "but this is as far as we can go on a production
model. The Slim [motorcycle] is intended to be a direct interpretation of
home-built customs of the 1940s and 50s, and we used a number of components that
evoke that era, beginning with a Hollywood handlebar."
The Slim represents the Harley-Davidson Softail
motorcycle paired down to its essential elements in the style of custom bobbers
of the 1950s, from its trimmed front fender to its narrow rear end, solo seat
and minimal chrome. A cross-braced Hollywood handlebar and headlight nacelle are
finished in gloss black. Other period styling cues include a "cat's eye" tank
console, half-moon rider footboards, and gloss black wheel rims and hubs. The
1690 cc Twin Cam 103B™ powertrain is finished with polished covers instead of
chrome. The Softail chassis mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame,
but utilizes rear suspension control provided by coil-over shock absorbers
mounted horizontally and out of sight within the frame rails. With the
combination of a 23.8-inch seat height and rider foot boards, the Slim
comfortably fits a wide range of riders.
Live your ride to the power of 103. The air cooled
Twin Cam 103™ Harley-Davidson® engine delivers more stump pulling torque, while
its Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection jetting gives crisp, lively
throttle reaction. It’s a performance punch that you’ll appreciate when passing,
climbing hills, or rolling with luggage packed or a passenger in back—all under
that signature Motor Company rumble. And it comes at lower cruising rpm, so you
ride more smoothly, with less engine vibration and better highway fuel economy.
