2013 Harley Davidson Softail Slim Review and Specifications
Harley Davidson Softail Slim
The Essential Of Harley Davidson Softail You can Found it on Harley Slim.From its trimmed front fender to its narrow rear end, Slim is a no-nonsense, back-to-basics motorcycle. Call it stripped. Call it old school. Call it lean and mean. Whats left is the elemental Harley Softail profile and iconic Harley Davidson style that recalls classic custom bobbers of the 1950s.
The 2013 Harley Davidson Softail Slim represents the Harley Davidson Softail motorcycle paired down to its essential elements in the style of custom bobbers of the 1950s, from its narrow rear end to its trimmed front fender, solo seat and minimal chrome. With the combination of a 23.8-inch seat height and rider foot boards, the Harley Davidson Softail Slim comfortably fits a wide range of riders.
The Harley Davidson Softail Slim rear suspension mimics the clean lines of a vintage hard tail frame but offers the comfort of a modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis. The rigid power train allows tight packaging of the engine and frame and creates a solid connection between the rider and the power that moves the motorcycle.
The 2013 Harley Davidson Softail Slim With Twin Cam 103 engine,bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidsons unique styling. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proud heritage that comes from a centurys worth of commitment to life on two wheels.
All Harley Davidson fuel tanks are finished by hand—thats what makes them stand out from the competition. Their seamless design and unmatched style are unique among all motorcycles on the road. The tanks are one of the first and last things people notice when they lay their eyes on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle so we make it worth their time.
