The 2014 Softail Slim blends raw, minimalistic 1940s bobber attitude with modern engineering, making a bold statement in its factory two-tone Charcoal Satin and Vivid Black Satin paint scheme. This matte finish covers the classic 5-gallon Fat Bob® fuel tank and chopped rear fender, bringing out a dark, stripped-down look. True to its retro-bobber roots, the Slim features internally wired "Hollywood" handlebars with a classic cross-brace, a gloss-black round air cleaner, a tuck-and-roll solo seat sitting at a low 23.8 inches, vintage half-moon footboards, and 16-inch black laced steel wheels.
Hidden beneath the classic hardtail-styled frame is an air-cooled, counter-balanced Twin Cam 103B™ V-Twin engine. This rigid-mounted, 1690cc powerplant is finished in black powder coat with polished covers, unleashing 97.4 ft-lbs of low-end torque through a 6-speed Cruise Drive® transmission to easily clear highway traffic. While keeping its old-school aesthetic clean with a black tank console and a side-mounted license plate, the 2014 model features invisible modern comforts like hidden rear horizontal shocks, electronic sequential port fuel injection, and factory options for ABS and a hands-free proximity security system.
