Softail Slim

The Harley-Davidson Softail Slim (FLS) was introduced in 2012 as a stripped-down Softail with a pure bobber silhouette. Skinny front and rear tyres, a solo saddle (with optional passenger seat), and a narrow mini-ape handlebar arrangement give the Slim its distinctive sinister look. The first generation (2012–2017) used the Twin Cam 103 (1690cc); the second generation (2018+) received the revised Softail platform with the Milwaukee-Eight 107 (1745cc) and an entirely new chassis.

The Softail Slim targets riders who want a factory-custom look that already resembles a bobber straight from the showroom. The riding position is comfortably upright with slightly forward footpegs. It is heavier than the Sportster but lighter than the Heritage. No windscreen or saddlebags come standard, ideal for riders who choose the aesthetic first and want to add their own accessories. Its closest competitor is the Indian Scout Bobber.
